Weekends not totally accurate for Sv 89 spottings, because historically, Sv 89 has always been plucking random buses from other svcs for Weekends, haha.
They used to do so by plucking the Sv 100 Mk4s, and nowadays for Weekends they tend to pluck the DM3500s & Citaros from Sv 100, Sv 27 and other svcs. But I get what you mean.
So more accurate to see on Weekdays. Do KIV 9675U & 9676S. I've not seen these two appear on Sv 89 as often nowadays. I saw 9689E 9690A still, and I think 9688H also. Not sure if the rest are resting in HGDEP or just that they switched slots from the usual timings I see.
Originally posted by SBS5111G:Yes it's true that Sv.89 is seriously lacking of WABS. 2762Y n 2765P still on 89 today n 9690A still does 89 ytd btw
I think most of the 89e buses are safe for now though (the 2 DM3500s & 3 DDs). Except 3951L which I haven't seen much on Sv 89/89e this past week too (but that doesn't make much sense if it disappears, because taking 3951L out doesn't solve the shortage of WABs).
9533X still on 89/89e on usual timing this past week.
Originally posted by SBS 9631X:Someone please help to observe Sv 89's fleet in the coming week. It received WAB status together with Sv 31 last week, but so far it's still lacking 1-2 WABs (or at least that's what it seems from Wiki) to hit the 60% for WAB status.
This is irregardless of whether I exlude Sv 89e buses from the calculations, or include the Sv 89e buses in.I have a feeling that both 6859B & 3940T are for HG 89. But I can't tell which are the buses out yet. The DM3500s are still on 89 this past week. Maybe 2762Y is going out with the expired JWEL ad, but I think one of the Tridents should be out too. Someone just KIV for Sv 89 yeah, thanks.
someone already edited 3940 as perm sv89.. all Sv89e buses are non-wab accordingly to ETT.. and it does not count in the WAB quota for Sv89, as it supplement sv89..
but then if you look at the ETT, you can have 4 consecutive nonwab slot and then follow by 3 more nonwab slots in one hour (from the direction of Changi). guess it still need to take sometime for HGDEP to allocate more WAB to sv89.. maybe the 4 Sv85 DDs are for sv89 initially, but were put on sv85 instead...

Originally posted by Rui jing:3976R on 31 towards tampines just now. All of the volgrens from brbp should be out and also noticed only the volgrens from cgbp to be still perm. All of the perm VOs are not running on 31 anymore.
SV31 on ITE holiday schedule...so lot of 31A buses are missing.. wait for ITE reopen in 2 weeks time, then reconfirm the exact fleet....

HGDEP can either swap the 89 tridents with the 153 wrights first since 153 is not a wab service yet like or can use the SP wrights first what

I think they might have skipped updating the e-timetable's WAB timings all together and just launched Sv 89's WAB status right away instead..
I know someone already edited 3940T as perm HG 89 some time previously, but that same guy didn't give a bus that is out of Sv 89 in return. And assuming 3940T is a fleet add to Sv 89, it still doesn't hit the min 60% WABs required for the status anyway uh. So I'm just pretty confused what is going on Sv 89 right now.
If HGDEP wanted to pluck Wrights for Sv 89, they could just use 3882C 3886S that bunch uh..I have a feeling those are still SP even though the rego range is quite far away from the 39xx series on Sv 89 recently. (much like how CGBP is still hoarding 3812E 3815Y 3817S that bunch as SPs).
Originally posted by SBS3004X:I saw SBS3951L > SBS3448Z > SBS9690A on Thursday. 89, not 89e.
I have a feeling they swapped some of the buses around for Sv 89e with Sv 89. It's still 5 trips of Sv 89e. But whether is it still 3 DDs + 2 SDs, or 2 DDs + 3 SDs, need some time to double-check again.
3751Y's 89e status was confirmed with perm stix last time (the perm stix wrote clearly '89/89e'), so it'd be good if someone can help to double-check 3751Y's current perm stix to see whether they did any changes to it.
9533X is still perm 89e though. I see it again on 89e today after seeing it on 89e last week also. So that's safe. Same for 2751D & 2768G.

Isn't it abit troublesome and too much of a hassle to do this, when evidently HGDEP still has SP Wrights in its SP fleet which they haven't deployed out?
And that's not to say that HGDEP isn't going to take in more Wrights in the near future uh. Although I find it kinda weird why they keep taking in new Citaros (when they don't have much Mk4s to replace anymore) when they need the new Wrights instead (for their new WAB svcs)..

Oh yeah, i forgot to add on, can you help me double-check 6859B also? I honestly think both 3940T & 6859B are perm together at the same time for Sv 89.
And I saw 6859B again today on Sv 89. Hmm.

Sure, I haven't spotted it yet, maybe it's the timing. I'll look out
Are there any Tridents that had been kicked out from 89 lately?
Originally posted by carbikebus:I do a bus spotting for 972/972A yesterday and only managed to spot 21 buses only..Those in doubt please do your count for at least 3 days..
total 24 buses for sv972. 5 buses were added to sv972 on 14th june... it was already running with 19 buses before the route amendment on 14th june.. but apparently, no one know about the exact perm fleet due to the messy deployment...
this is from the LTA official press release.
Originally posted by SBS1929R:Sure, I haven't spotted it yet, maybe it's the timing. I'll look out
It's a few buses (about 3-4) behind 2768G and 2762Y, and IIRC directly behind 9688H yesterday. I mean, for 6859B's timings
Originally posted by SBS8676Z:Are there any Tridents that had been kicked out from 89 lately?
Hmm. I don't think anyone has really posted any Sv 89 Tridents running around lately though. MIA from Sv 89 yes, but cameoing around..i haven't seen any people post that yet..

9681 165 d2.
was told some 972 Enviros crossover to 190A during morning peak, thus 24 buses in total...
