  Who knows whether the Mercs will re-appear on 156 & 165, controlled by AMDEP in the past.
  
  147 had WA Merc O405s in the past, when it operated from JUR. These later vanished with its amendment to CLE.

  The Ex-CSS UD was on 853.
  
  BTW, what about 105 Mercs? Were they moved over to HGDEP in exchange for the Eunos VO3Xs?

  105 is DD unsuitable. So are the other Lorong Chuan svcs.
  
  What I mean is some SGN Mercs have been x-ferred from AMDEP to HGDEP and whether 105 Mercs are among them.
  
  Some VOs have followed Svc 86 & 154 over to AMDEP.

  Only Svc 100, Svc 103, Svc 158 have taken Merz to HGDEP along with them. The last two have taken only around two frames each while svc 100 has taken a whole of lot of them with it (about 80% of its old fleet).
  
  Just to clarify, ALL svc 86 VOs were transferred to AMDEP, and all but two (9327 9501 were sent to svc 80 to cover for the VSOs) of svc 154's were also transferred.
  
  To cover for the transfer of svc 39, AMDEP has sent some Mk4s to BNDEP, which in turn have transferred some Mk3s to HGDEP.

  Yes, SLBP still continues to deploy the its old fleet, but for some reason SBS 2751 - 2753 have been transferred to HGDEP (but still on svc 105).

  Hell of many changes over the past few days.
  
  1795J dm on 101
  2773R on 101
  1765X dm on 112
  and surprise, 1799Z, dm on 103
  
  mkII alexander also sighted on 101
  yesterday also have mkIII on 101.
  
  3625G appears to be training bus now.
  Was to far away to confirm that although I could recognise its new coat of paint.
  
  86 appears to be nothing but MB0405s now, only 1 rego noted.
  222C on 86.
  
  877M on 74, long time no see.
  
  Also had a slight surprise when I sat on 9599G on 72 yesterday(nice aircon compared to the Leyland Olympians). Last time I had seen VO on 72 was months ago. 9632T on 72 then, now back to 88.
  
  Shame on SBST! LO on 76 actually had 2 rego, 9166P and 9186P!
