  But today this Citaro went back to C&C. For last checkup?

  Just went to woodlands to pass something to my friend and decided to passby WLDEP at @ 3.30am.Saw this guy again w/o SMRT logos.Hope my eyes dun play pang with me.The bus got black air con unit on the roof,Rear light like those on SBST OCs,Rim silver instead of black or white.Rear top light is integrated with rear window and the exit door is slightly backward compared to OCs.But i see there's still trade plate hanging for whatever reason.See a civilian clothe man then drive this bus out from WLDEP @ 10 mins and i was rushing to see my friend then.Maybe someday i will try to snap this guy b4 enter service.Anyway bus is super chio.

  The logo is very obvious. Just that the rear one is quite small.

  Don't assume yet. It may be the same bus carbikebus saw.

  8033D haven come out, batch 1 K230s came into service earlier, even though 8033D was registered with 8034B - 8037T and 8888D.

  Sticker can just peel off if you apply special sticker remover liquid.Unless they spray it's diff story.Maybe the position of the stix is not what SMRT expected?

  Could be:

  17 UDs**   +   10 Elbos**   +   17 O405 (425R - 441T?)   +   11 Hinos?   =   55 buses 

  ** Including Non-User Lay Up and Awaiting De-registration buses.

  It could still be inside WLDEP for now as there's hardly any space at C&C now due to new stocks of Mercs Trucks coming in.

  By the way, the OC500LE demo is still parking in C&C without rego plate yet. Didn't see any livery on its body, but just the plain white paint.

  You may be correct as some services need more buses than the number of buses it has now and some new services has added into like 963R/RWS8/88/68(coming soon).
