Tridents on more and more Hougang Depot Svcs

  Recently, Sv 89 and Sv 62 have been getting Dennis Tridents into their fleets. Also, by looking at the trend of such deployment, these might lead to a beginning of something...:
  
  A. Testing of certain road conditions/environments to see if Dennis Tridents can handle well?
  
  B. Implementing the mysterious double decker demos onto various Hougang Depot Svcs which have been tested by Dennis Tridents?
  
  C. Something outta our expectation might happen?
  
  We don't know, since SBST does things as secretly as possible. It seems that the late Q1 and Q2 of 2004 might be a new milestone that SBST set in mind. What could it be?

  All Eyes on HGDEP! I think the demos will be out very soon. at most by end of next month. Apparantly, i dont think any new routes is to be planned by i really feel that they're trying to demo the 97xx buses on routes like 7 80 153 etc.,

  Wow,Northeast commuters are lucky man,Even 89 had Tridents.
  Why not transfer some of the Tridents(3-4)buses to Eastern,Central or West districts to make it more variables?
  Impossible ha?

  I agree with service_238.. perhaps the crazy deployments of the Tridents are indications that the demo Volvo DDs are coming out...?
  
  But still, sv 161 still no chance... as the DDs are from AMKDEP...

  What's the rego? If it's 9527 or 9530, they are AMKDEP buses.
  
  I believe the deployment is temporary as many buses are utilised for AA2004.

  Some clarifications. The earlier post on the deployment is based on the findings of bus fans and also the redeployment of Tridents on other services.

  I think it was either 9527 or 9530, these are AMDEP buses.
