Most sceneric routes - 8 and 390. Mainly because these 2 routes plied along ECP non-stop. 390 then was a full Albion Viking fleet while 8 had Leyland Atlantans.
It was a significant change when 390 got upgraded to FAC fleet in the early 90s, but a very bad move to be withdrawn in late 1993.
172 from LCK to Shenton Way, imagine the current 975 full route, and then continues from Bt Panjang to Shenton Way, super damn long. Still remember the JRBP OF1413s on this route.
171 was later extended to Yishun Int, it basically had not much of the route change till today, except that it now does not turn into Mandai Lake Rd. Journey made slightly shorter by diverting to BKE instead of old Woodlands Rd.
Svc 7, on MB O305 all the way from JE to Bedok... despite the distance, the journey was enjoyable back then. And yes, svc 8, LAs from Bedok to Marina Ctr....great route.
True, 390 shouldn't have been withdrawn.
Still have 36...
