  Wonder what replacement they will have for 89 with 643X gone, probably a VO3x since that timing was a DD slot anyway.

  9564G replaced 643X

  Only 4 more days left for 628R and 630H to run on their respective perms (9 and 35). Looks like the former AMDEP MK4 DMs will replace them soon.

  I feel glad that I have finally managed to take a ZF Mk3, especially when they're going off so quickly! :P

  Yea, i don't think SBST will fix it, since it has 6 months more before de-reg.

  this mean the rest of the new Citaros will most likely go to BBDEP.  BNDEP is taking very little Citaros till now....

  AMDEP was the one taking in Citaros instead of BNDEP. As expected AMDEP got to transfer out their excess buses (MK4s and K230UBs) to BNDEP.

  Looks like HGDEP will take in another 30 more Citaros and that's it.
