Another possibility is to let a few of 169 duties to Amdep in exchange of 851 slots.
Service like 858 & 966 can let go 4 duties each to Amdep.
I prefer some 858 to AM, early morning start trip can start early from CGA instead of having to wait for 1st bus from WRI to reach CGA...
858 1st bus at CGA is 6.30AM...

Yeah,960 also...My friend shift work near Marina Ctr and morning have to wait 0630 to baord 960 towards Bt Panjang.966 good if 2-3 Amdep buses start from Marine Parade

Btw if anyone noticed, the town map they used is still the old one, with 858 plying Gambas Avenue.
Seems that SMRT forgot all about updating these maps since the early 2010s. Even in other towns.

Saw 1 E500 entering Yishun Temp on test just now.

WLBP where got full?? got space to park so many deregistered O405s... and got space to park at least 20 new MAN A22 and 20 new E500.... if really full, they should have send all the O405 as fast as possible to the scrap yard...
-
As unexpected just now, I saw a Volvo Olympian SBS double decker bus entering Yishun Temp by making it's one round when entering and leaving the interchange. There is a van with a SBS livery being followed by the bus. By the way the rego is SBS9644J.
-
Why do they dont scrap those O405s then to make way for newer buses?

Most of the 0405s already gone by now already liao, where most of it are training buses.

There is a great difference between his point and your point...many de-registered O405s are still parked at the lay up corner; it may take up until May or June for them to be sent to the scrapyard completely!

Trees outside Yishun Temp Int along Yishun Central 1 directly opposite Northpoint seen to be trimmed over the weekend (used by 39/85/851/852). However 853/855/857 portion of Central 1 no movement yet.

So that is the reason why 39 still don't have DDs yet. By the way Enviro got do testing on 857 and there are no need for trees to be trimmed along 853/855/857 route.

Dun say no need to trim... Not long ago saw one that of the 972 DD's roofside alrdy dented quite badly due to hanging thick branches which scratched & pushed the panel inwards deeply... If the roofside panel got push in further & it tears, I think you can say bye bye to the DD waiting to be repaired...
There was another DD with upperdeck windscreen totally cracked recently, so dun assume no need to trim... If passable on dry weather, then what about wet weather? The branches are even heavier and will hang even lower...
Dun repeat SBS7499A's step which caused almost half the left side of the roof sheared off along Bt. Timah Rd...

*LIVE* Yishun Central 1 northbound direction trees being trimmed all the way till Northpoint. Interchange-bound 853/855/857 route now all clear. I think the whole stretch incl 39/85/851/852 side will be clear by end of today too. There are also asphalt resurfacing going on both direction between interchange and Northpoint.

Which location of the trees that are trimmed? Also, this is the cause of the delay of deploying DDs for Yishun right?

Northbound direction trees being all the way till Northpoint. Whole of interchange-bound 853/855/857 route.
I don't know if this is the cause of delay or if there is any delay at all (maybe no deployment intended in the first place???).
-
Saw a lot of trees being pruned between Northpoint and Yishun just now. Lot of trees were piled up until it blocked the pedestrian way. It is located along the 851/852/854/39/85 route.
-
Dont really know if its true or not but some Amdep 851,854 & 855 will be offered to transfer to Wldep and learn DDs..Hmm a case of insufficient drivers at Wldep?
-
can just park the DD buses at the interchange ma. but all this talk about SMRT AMK no space for DD buses i think LTA should allow bus park sharing with sbst deport next to it or bulid a bus park nearby at one of the empty pot of land. why waste time ??
-
Park at Yishun then refuelling and bus wash still have to enter Amdep right?Unless Amdep reroof their refuelling area those E500 can ONP at Yishun
