This would mean the timetable from HGDEP would be affected as well...
My guess...30A-33A, 34P-37P, 38S, 39S, 40S for HGDEP.
By the way there's a typo error in the weekend one...should be 9A not 9P.

With regards to Svc 61, even SMRT buses and TransitLink eguide have not come up with the revised route that comes as a result of the road changes @ Queensway/C'wealth Dr intersection near Tanglin Halt.
