  AFAIK no change...12am.
  
  sv174M will have to depend on what time they can finish the sv174 route. Previous years they were stuck in Orchard Rd for about 1hr+ which resulted in the first bus leaving Marina Centre Ter at 1.30am.

  They only have 4 routes (EW1, EW2, EW24 & EW27) because the other special services like the NE & NS corridor have poor demand, so SBST decided not to introduce more services.
