  I was just trying to correct SBS6078M's post and to verify with SMB128B's post.

  But SBS850P wasn't reflected as laid-up in OM.

  For 850P, not de-reg yet, but probably awaiting de-reg. Means they probably didn't bothered to ask for a Lay-Up status since it is going off anyway in like a few days, that's why OneMotoring didn't show it as Laid-Up nor did anyone see it on the roads in the past weeks.

  As for 847A, the depots have the practice to keep some of their supposedly de-reg Mk3s around for some time more for spares for the remaining Mk3s before finally towing them out to scrapyard/export. Common in BNDEP, could see the Darts 749A 870G still in BNDEP even though they were officially dereg-ed like at least 3 months earlier.

  So? It has been in Laid-up for months already while the rest in BNDEP that were laid-up with it are gone from that holding area.

  Bus missing, not reflected as laid-up or deregistered = Under refurbishment or a/w dereg.
  Since for it's age, it can only be a/w dereg.

  I am referring to this part of your post where something is wrong:

  '...could see the Darts 749A 870G still in BNDEP even though they were officially dereg-ed like at least 3 months earlier.'

  If anyone is to see like that, they will think SBS870G is already de-registered despite the fact that it is not.

  Btw, 852J and 876R are both on 229 full day today. A good opportunity for those wanting to catch a final ride on different gearboxes MK3.

  Well, I'm sorry then if anyone misinterpreted it. But I guess that's only you.

  LOL. Btw, do something to your reputation & post something more reliable/not Captain Obvious anymore instead of picking on nitty gritty details from my posts and other members' as well. That will do you good.

  Anyway, either 852J (BN 229) or 876R (BN SP) is on Service 3 today. Spotted it at 1015hrs along Loyang Avenue towards Tampines. Been quite some time since I saw a matt-stickered Mk3 do Sv 3, reminded me of 749A 760R when they were still around.

   Aye, it's nothing much!  I hadn't had the time to specifically wait for 858T recently too, I shall try to catch it sometime these few days. Try 879H too if you can, it should be around for this week!
