Correct me if I'm wrong, but some time back, they added buses for Sv 138 right? And now they took 8961A out? They did a reversal?

If you haven't seen half of Sv 159's fleet filled with AMDEP buses, then there's only one possibility that 5059A went over from East to West district uh. I think HGDEP might been having a shortage of SDs after using up the SP Citaros.

There are fleet add one year plus ago. From 5 buses add till 9 buses after the river Safari open n the pandas arrived. But now slightly lesser demand so they cut bus in weekday n weekend as well. 6654 was the one out initially but later 6654 went back 138 n 8961 went out instead.

Maybe special outside schedule bus for sv159 this week with the duty done by AMDEP due to shortage of bus or bc from hgdep. No change of ett this week.

X-ferred already uh at this rate. Just kinda weird why that's the only bus from AM/BR side now to HGDEP. I expected a few more..or maybe they haven't went over yet for this week.

That one different case uh. That time AMDEP didn't seem to have to an impending shortage of SDs.

But now, you look at the spare fleet in HGDEP, and you look at the number of Mk4s going off in the next few months in HGDEP, you'll see why they might have a lack of SDs in the near future. And it's not like HGDEP likes to do SD-to-DD upgrades recently too (to utilise the SP Wrights)..

I think a few more KUBs might go over to HGDEP bah. Just wait and see.
