  Hiee.. Yeah.. anyone keeps a record of bus service changes through the respective service history? Eg : Service 84
  
  Introduced at ??? from Upp serangoon to WTC,
  Then changed to Hougang Central <> WTC,
  Then merged with 864 to become service 80..
  Reintroduced as peak hour bus in punggol
  Withdrawn in 12th march 2005

  Im wondering will there be a possibility whether VO2X can be converted into air-conditioned buses in the near future just like the 0405s and MkIIs? Just curious...

  why ppl keep asking tis qn on different threads... read from here onwards.
  
  it is impossible for VO2x's to have air-conditioner. heater maybe can. the 2 axles are not strong enough to support the additional weight (>700kg) on an air-conditioner unit on the bus.

  Tranquilice, for the Nicoll Highway Reopening, u said 401 will divert back on Sunday 28 Nov 2004. It should not be there as 401 was cut short to Fort Rd on 04 Dec 2004
  
  FYI 17 73 and 159 becomes loop service on 19 Aug 2002

  From Tuesday 20 Apr 2004 to Sunday 05 Dec 2004 (Sunday 28 Nov 2004 for service 401), services 10, 14, 16, 70, 196 and 401 diverted to ply Beach Rd, Jln Sultan, Victoria St, Kallang Rd, Sims Ave/Geylang Rd and Mountbatten Rd, while service 608 diverted to ply Beach Rd, Crawford St, Kallang Rd, Sims Ave/Geylang Rd and Mountbatten Rd. Original routes (except amended service 401) resumed on Monday 06 Dec 2004.

  From the quote above, it was mentioned that service 401 was diverted from 20 Apr 2004 to 28 Nov 2004 (other services were diverted from 20 Apr 2004 to 05 Dec 2004). 6 days later, on 04 Dec 2004, service 401 was shortened to loop along Fort Rd.

  Yes, service 401 last ply the diverted route, then its route got shortened before Nicoll Highway reopened.

  Reopening of Nicoll Highway took place on 04 Dec 2004 itself. Bus services resumed 2 days later, on 06 Dec 2004.
