You found Busway at where? NUS? I only found those from 1993 onwards in NLB last time.Originally posted by Yusry:Does anyone know where exactly was the former Alexandra Depot? Found a reference to it while reading an 1985 issue of Busway (SBS's internal newsletter). BB Depot replaced this depot.
Yes. NUS Central Library. 1985 issues onwards.Originally posted by freakybuses:You found Busway at where? NUS? I only found those from 1993 onwards in NLB last time.
Sounds very plausible, except that it's a few km away from Alexandra Road.Originally posted by tranquilice:Just my guess, maybe Alexandra depot is the former name of current ARBP?

Don't think so. That place is not very large and probably couldn't be a depot.Originally posted by iveco:Could Alexandra Depot be the former Labrador Park terminus?
Students were intimidating bus drivers by setting up a convoy of 20 lorries at Alexandra Road CircusBy setting up a convoy at Alexandra Road Circus (Princess Circus), it indicates that the bus depot should be around that vicinity. The 1984 street directory (does not show the depot, though) indicates a large enough blank area opposite Princess House and next to the Circus.
Oh, there! Isn't that near to Dawson's Place and the various car showrooms? The old Sv. 13 from Ghim Moh, I presume?Originally posted by The_Bus_Guide:I remember this depot. This was many, many years ago and I was not even old enough for kindergarten. Many a time when I rode sv. 13, the bus will stop here for fuel before continuing its journey. It's location was just after the junction of Alexandra Rd/Leng Kee Rd/C'wealth Ave, opposite Princess House. If I'm not mistaken, this was the depot involved in the Hock Lee Bus Riot.
Yes, it's roughly opposite Dawson's Place and where the current car showrooms are.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Oh, there! Isn't that near to Dawson's Place and the various car showrooms? The old Sv. 13 from Ghim Moh, I presume?
Yes, I will. I presume it was where Komoco Auto (Hyundai distributor) showroom sits currently?Originally posted by Yusry:Yes, it's roughly opposite Dawson's Place and where the current car showrooms are.
Check a street directory for a clearer picture.
