  These 2 buses are not perm on the respective buses you mentioned? 9452X is perm 28 for years already, 9456K perm 65. The rest of the list are still perm as initially allocated though.

  Since BNDEP keeps having fleet swaps here and there everytime, the years for the long perms might differ. For some of the east side buses that have remained despite new WABs coming in (that i can recall),

  752P & 886L (BN 39) - Deployed on 39 since launch, never left. Not sure if both were also from the AMDEP days of 39? 

  858T (BN 359) - Still on 359 now despite its siblings of 611M 663M 730C 841R 870G & countless others all deregistered and gone already. Even more so due to the influx of KUBs in recent years, this Mk3 is still actively serving its loyal perm till now. Not sure for how many years already, but when i came into this hobby in 2004, it was already on 359.

  1972P (BN 21) - The only bus that remained on 21 till now despite new KUB & CDGE B9TLs entering since 2006. All those from the same period all have gone elsewhere (think 986G, 987D, 2790R, 9811T, 9370Z, 9313P etc). Were there any previous perms for this bus?

  9354X & 9437R (BN 12)  - Same as 9450B, remained on 12 till now even when CDGE B9s entered and kicked out the rest of the VO3xs.

  9629D & 9631X (BN 17) - Despite Wrights & KUBs entering 17, these 2 have remained on 17 till now. I know they have a certain previous perm previously (106 or something), but IIRC when 17 first got DDs on its current route, these 2 were the initial ones allocated and remained till today.

  Thanks if anyone could clarify on these buses

  9631X was perm 56 before moving over to BNDEP when the VSOs entered in 2003.

  No. SBS885P did not perm 115 since 2004.

  Service 115 uses a variety of Volvo B10Ms. Here is the list of perms 115 used in order of which bus is used first:

  1. SBS1794L
  2. SBS884S
  3. SBS1810Z
  4. SBS595B
  5. SBS1835C
  6. SBS885P

  SBS858T did went out of 359 permers in 2006/2007 and swopped with a MK2 from service 15. It was then soon swopped back.

  Oh yeah, it did swap with 1726J from BN 15 for 2 weeks or so.Then 359 took back 858T & 1726J went back to 15 again.  But 2 weeks out of 359 but otherwise remained on 359 is stil quite long right?

  Oh yeah now that you reminded me, 2627E crashed into the rear of 9417Z on 65 at the slope near the last bus stop before it turns into Jalan Eunos years ago. Then 1972P went in from BN SP to 21 to replace 2627E. 2625K 2629A from that same period of perm 21 all went elsewhere also now.

  So 9631X was not AM 106 or something? Sgwiki showed AM 106 as previous deployment, but then 9631X when new was straight onto 56 and not 106 right?

  What about 3641? That was on 352 when the B57s retired. Moved over to 357 after 352 & 356 merged, remained despite CAC retrofitting. After 357 & 294 merged, it still stayed. This bus has been serving the residents of Pasir Ris N2 for like 10 years, IIRC.

  These 2 get from amdep/bram one, 9631X was bram 56, one of the last buses to retain full Superbus livery (without ads).

  This 7232C seems like a 153 bus, though maybe wrong.

  TIB1042E long long time ago was Woodlands bus, then dunno why transfer to AMK, 1177A was for a very long time a 106 bus. The long time 190 Habits are the 1033G-1036Z.

  Talking about SMRT bus, actually TIB755M was on 854 for very long, even before CAC IIRC.

  Anyone mentioned about SBS9472M before? It was on 147 since day one.

  Cheers.

  Does anyone know what service was 9450B perm on before BNDEP 12? Its siblings from the VO3x days of Service 12 have all left, while 9437R did HG 197 before? (from Sgwiki) But nothing for 9450B, so just wondering!
