  In a sense more of conserved trees issue.

  I believe TIs were deployed on site before go ahead was given.

  Seems true.

  But last time the old service 5 (Bt Panjang to Geylang Lor 1) when under SBS in the 90s had Merc 0305s and LAs running...

  Last time I remember services like 26, 35, 90, 130, 135, 139, 142, 269, 410 ever had NAC DDs (be it 0305s, LAs or LO2x) running before. Service 410 also had a VSO appearance once in 2005. Somehow are there any reasons why ADDs are not deployed to these a/m services?

  Tree is not an issue. They can be trimmed if SBS Transit ask someone to do it.

   

  Why no one mentioning about Changi Airport Terminal?

  8) Upp Aljunied Rd

  9) Lor Chuan

  10) Airport PTB

  11) Kallang Way

  For 9), the Lorong Chuan between Serangoon Garden Way and Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 is DD accessible, since 136 has Wrights before plying there.

  I remember 139 was due to the narrow road along Kim Keat Rd IIRC, it did have LO3X running that time, but think some right angle turning point not suitable for ADD.

  26, 35, 90, 130, 135, 142 & 269 never got the chance to get ADD when NAC DDs phase out, dunno the reason why, but most probably not cost effective.

  410 use LO2X before, not sure ADD did appear before.

  Cheers.

  It was mentioned in the earlier page.

  But I think that only T3 is not suitable for double deckers...

  T2 has height limit of 3.8m, T3 has height limit of 4.2m, and all terminals don't allow vehicles with 3 axles or more into the basement (or so they say).
