Finally weekday DDs have started to appear on sv 66.. though not many just 2.
Service 190 will be converting to full fleet of high capacity buses (Double Deckers) by end of the year!
It take more than 10years for the operator to realise it that route needs full fleet DD. WHEN day 1 it needs full fleet DD

I would say it is still speculation that sv 190 will become full fleet DD.. Even today many SDs do ply on 190... So it will take time to become full fleet DD. Also if you notice, many bendy slots are getting converted to DD (even though DDs are constantly being added).

It was already full fleet DD during SBST time. When SMRT took over , the service got downgraded badly.

got any other wrights cameo on 334 yesterday?
if no & if other perms present, that means 3379 on 3149L slot
btw r svc 325 & 371 getting 1 more BSEP bus added each recently ?
If 190 is full fleet DDs they dont need 44 buses,Just 41 buses enough.
Not sure but heard that service 39 will be getting DDs next week.

who did you hear from? i can tell you that it wont get DD this week..
Service 109 gets a SD>DD upgrade from former SBS2612Y slot.
SBS3927H is replacing SBS3157M, but SBS3157M is still on 109. Random perm DDs are spotted on former SBS2612Y slot.

SMB3567Y also got deploy 857 just now
It's kind of interesting the way DDs have been deployed.
People kept speculating BCs getting trained on DDs for sv 851, 854 and 855. They also saw E500s passing these routes and confidently confirmed that 851/854 will be next to have DDs.
On the contrary SMRT has surprised everyone by choosing 856 instead for DD deployment that is not CBD service. Also 857 which was supposed to get DDs - no one expected that in first month it will get 8-9 DDs.
So good surprises coming our way, and also to say.. most of the speculation on this forum lately has been wrong.. whether it has been sv 39, 164 or SMRT DD deployment
Oh ya..SMB3109L's slot on 969 got DD cameo recently(only saw it one time)..not sure if it's temporary or upgrade..
Update for weekend bendy deployment for 172 (AP slot)
Saturday (230515) -- no AP bendies, and no bus on 172TQ02
Sunday (240515) -- 1086D on 172AP05 (56A)
sv 860 gets 13 buses. More than double the number of buses from when it was launched.
860 was launched with 6 buses + 2years back and now has 13 buses.
Huge capacity addition. Would have been good to have gotten some DDs instead to meet the high AM load.
After Yishun interchange got relocated, loading has got more lopsided. Even those closer to ave 9 and 11 on ring road are now taking 860 to Khatib than 860/806 to Yishun. This is one of the reason for high number of buses on 860 that have been added in last couple months, including introduction of 860A.
172 has got capacity downgrade. Now on most days operates with only 2 bendies.

No posts here on cameo upgrades. It did happen on 43 today, but it doesn't belong here.
My friend just send me a photo of a Volvo B9TL on service 39. Also, just now i have roughly seen volvo b9tl at Yishun. Service 39 have been upgraded to double deckers already?
