Redeployments (Part 16)

9417Z used to be BN 65, but has been stuck in AMDEP for many years already..now AM 25 btw.
The thing is, West district depots (HGDEP / BBDEP / ARBP / SLBP) they usually swap buses among themselves, ditto for the East district depots (AMDEP/ BRBP / BNDEP). Very seldom in recent years have they did cross-district swaps..the last i remembered was 8242S which went over to AM 130 from HGDEP, that was a cross-district swap from West (HG) to East district (AMDEP).
The influx of Mk4 DM3500s & Striders from BNDEP to BBDEP for the JB-cross-border fleet renewal years ago was another case, since they had the need to do so to replace the outgoing JB Mk3s. But other than those 2 cases, I don't remember any cross-district swaps lately..
It's not that the cross-district swaps won't happen, they do happen but in recent years it's very rare. Unless there is an urgent need for buses from other depots for a particular purpose (like Mk4s from all the diff depots to BBDEP for Sv 160 & 170 fleet renewal), the East-district buses are more likely to stay in the East district depots no matter how they swap.
And looking at the still-significant amount of SP VO3xs BBDEP & HGDEP still have now, and their amount of SP Wrights, I won't bet against more VO3xs from these 2 depots going over to SLBP. SLBP already laid-up quite a significant number of LO3xs & VO2xs..so I guess they won't have any severe shortage of buses anytime soon given the number of SPs SLBP now have to go around. So I think the cross-district swap for LO3xs replacement might not happen..but within the West district itself, yes very likely unless they decide to let all the JIS go WAB suddenly with new Wrights. -

OR maybe they just want to trial the ridership of replacing 1 more SD to DD ? Really hope they can replace this 984L or 2612Y to any VOx3 !
by the way now sv 109 still hv 2 missing buses ( SBS 8888D and SBS 8622D )
Yeah, it could do with more DDs in my opinion. Just hope that not all of them go to CGV only in the morning..the load to Serangoon is quite jialat in the morning at times. But that load for 109 varies depending on when the earlier Sv 53 Citaros & Sv 81 KUBs arrive at Pasir Ris..that's why at times it seems like 109 no demand in AM Peak to Serangoon.
8888D either met with an accident or something really serious happened. Totally MIA for nearly 2 months already...not sure if anyone saw it on cameo though.

IDFC need to reprogramme all the services in the district if its a cross district transfer.

SBS5218H confirmed to SL 334 perm marking seen at coinbox... replacing 8001 i think

SBS3136Z
(BNDEP 10
BNDEP 45)doing same slot consistently for this two weeks, driven by the same lady BC... although did not manage to find any perm sticker on driver cabin.. i think this slot belong to the 45A slot as well, as the timing match exactly for the downroute that start from lor ah soon at 0822am... i think this is a fleet add and there are reshuffle of buses as well. From e-timetable, there seem to be 14 buses....
today spotted 7400J (with EDS showing off service) travelling along AMK Ave 5 towards AMDEP at around 9am . 7400J was just in front of 3136Z. and 7400J went via sv45 route and stop outside AMDEP and pick up one guy and then went off towards YCK road.. BC did not go into AMDEP and scan.. if 7400J is doing 9643L slot, then the timing should be much much earlier... so maybe 7400J brokedown earlier?

How about the 2 crossover buses from sv33? It should head for AMDEP around 8 plus at yck area there.
these two weeks never see citaros on Sv45 during am peak.. based on the timing that i saw towards AMDEP (around 8.15am to 9am), i always saw the usual Sv45 perm buses.....9643(or 7400) -->8811--> 3199--> 9276 -->3136 -->kub. it seem like the crossover from Sv33 is remove after 3136Z went in? anyone can confirm? i did saw 8812 on the slot after 3136 yesterday....
but something really weird that i saw yesterday (10/10). saw 8189M doing 3199 slot on 10/10 morning and evening.... i did check the timing and it match exactly. so i was thinking whether 3199 transfer to BNDEP, but i did saw 3199 on Sv45 and reaching AMDEP on 9th Oct night and pump diesel at AMDEP... so i was thinking that 8189 might be an emergency pullover bus on 10/10 to cover the slot for 3199 (maybe BC on mc)...

I also have not seen the crossover buses on sv45 recently. The crossover buses seem to be doing sv33 in the morning. There is a new timetable for sv33 too since 1 Oct.
Still need more observations on sv33 side to confirm though. I personally think 8812Y is still with sv45. I saw it last week doing its own slot in the evening ard 5 near Amk ave 10.
