Chris,
What time would you want to board
1. 9482J
2. 9550X
3. 9469Z
Do note SBST deployments are as accurate as possible to the best of ability as new buses are coming in to replace those you have mentioned, so it maybe seen on the parent service but 1-2 weeks later, it will be redeployed to other depots.
For example, 9550X instead of doing a half trip in the morning does a full trip morning for the past 3 months.
Saw 9524 around 0008hrs on Sv. 31 at St. Michael's Pl. bus stop twds Toa Payoh, looks like it is the third last bus from Tampines Interchange. Hope that this might be useful to you in any way.
Please post at 'Bus Deployment Slot Info'.

As a result of asking about this a few months ago, checking some online photos and matching the time the photo was taken with the direction of travel and by working out the non WAB lines on the SBS Transit times for the WAB routes I have some info, if anyone can expand on this, confirm its still current info or fill in the gaps I would be really grateful!
9365P – does the 98 but I think this actually does the short 98A workings in the afternoon as I couldn’t find it on any of the non-WAB duties at Jurong East on my last trip.
9460Y – works 30, I think it might do the non WAB 0744 Bedok-Boon Lay, 1001 Boon Lay-Bedok, split shift, 1607 Bedok-Boon Lay, 1817 Boon Lay-Bedok.
9469Z – works 196, I think this might work the non WAB 0907 Bedok-Clementi, 1133 Clementi-Bedok but I don’t know what it does before or after.
9482J – works the 548 then the 13- I think this does the 0750 548 from AMK Avenue 5 to Fullerton, then onto the 13 at 1109 Yio Chu Kang-Upper East Coast, 1254 Upper East Coast-Yio Chu Kang, 1500 Yio Chu Kang-Upper East Coast, 1643 Upper East Coast-Yio Chu Kang.
9487X – works the 125 but shouldn’t be too hard to find, there are three non WAB duties and all appear to be split shift as there are no non-WAB departures between 1012 and 1457 from St Michaels.
9524Y – works the 31 and I need help finding this, I have seen it parked in Tampines for a long period during the day so suspect it may be a split shift, any times for this appreciated as finding it on a long non WAB service will be hard. Previous reporter saw it at about 0715 heading along Marine Parade Rd going towards Toa Payoh.
9550X works the 107 and I also need help finding this. Previous reporter suggested it does a run from Hougang around 0715, runs empty back and does another trip at 0915. I did see it at around 1800 heading along Beach Road heading to Hougang on my last trip.
9579P works the 8 and it’s newly redeployed onto the 8 so any info on sightings would be appreciated.
Many thanks!
The 95xx buses mentioned are harder to find as they are on non-WAB bus services.
go to boon lay interchange there are many of them.
