  Sv 811  976S (AM SP), 1077E (AM 969), 1093H (AM SP), 1134Z (AM 969), 1326P (AM 969), 1602S (AM SP)

  Sv 969  1375Y (WL 960), 3529H (WL 700), 5023L (WL 963)

  And add on, 8009J spotted Off-service on TPE in direction towards AMDEP @ 0845hrs+ just now. So 8009J might be on 969 today as well.

  So the old 811 buses (1205 C, 1223 A, 1239 E, etc) are at WLDEP?

  I think so. I saw 1360P (ex-WL 811) on Sv 803 today..so I suppose only the MAN rigids from Sv 811 went over to AMDEP~

  Can just final check on Svc 969?Cause someone told me Amdep duites left 3-4 duties only.Svc 811 is confirmed full AMDEP.969 a bit tricky cause there is 2-3 Amdep BCs still driving the svc as for today...Might be they follow the svc to Wldep also.

  854 full also? Then it become like 169, the drivers follow the svc to WLDEP from AMDEP

  Could be coz 969 still needs more high capacity buses... Since bendies are scarce.. only option is to add more DDs... that leaves with moving slots to WL instead...

  I prefer they convert 228X n 229T convert to DD since they convert all the SD slot to DD. I dont mind full DD from WL side. 854 give more bendies, PM peak YCK rd SD cannot tank liao.

  I feel that they are trying to reduce the 'unnecessary mileage' if those buses got pulled out between 2230 hrs onwards for lesser demand so that they don't have to waste extra time going to AMDEP or their respective depots.

  Sometimes at a 'certain' timing when a service doesn't need so many buses, they will take 2 to 3 buses atleast earlier than scheduled to go back depot.

  I remember seeing a few AM 969 buses back in their MB0405 days going off earlier after 2230 hrs but I can't remember who are the ones that left early. 581Y was definitely one of them that left early around 2240+.

  even without the change of depots, there are still many WLDEP 969 buses that start /end at Tampines.. so not really consider waste of fuel.. it is not easy to plan the timetable such that each AMDEP 969 can start at tampines and end at tampines. same go for other services...  with a single depot, it is definitely easier to manage the fleet as well..

  Wldep to Tampines Int is around 27.1km vs to Changi Airport 32km.169 no problem being single depot as Wldep to AMK is quite near.The one that really need minor Amdep control is 858 & 966 especially for first 3 and last 3-4 buses.I understand that Amdep is too small to control many important service..Thats the minus point.

  854 also should stay with Amdep/Wldep but what the hell...

  Dude. I believe 3944H got transferred to AMDEP just recently then. It was still on Sv 12 & 518 a few days ago..

  So if you didn't see the wrong rego, I'm definitely sure 3944H went to BNDEP first before it ended up in AMDEP now. cheers.

  Then, I suggest you edit your initial post to reflect that it went over from BNDEP to AMDEP. Because 3944H was definitely in BNDEP and did BNDEP services before it flew over. 

  Your initial post seemed like people reported the depot 3944H was under wrongly..

  SBS6470M
  (AMDEP BSEP  BRBP 235)
  ** perm sticker on coin box

  SBS6487R was on sv235 as well, but did not find any perm sticker on coin box. so KIV first.. not sure whether AMDEP transfer any other BSEP citaro over to BRBP..

  SBS6486T have been doing sv231 for quite some time..(definitely not BSEP fleet add).. should be doing 5096 slot..(although did not see 5096 on 232 though) 

  SBS6576S
  (AMDEP BSEP NEW)

  bus on sv269 today.. guess they transfer old BSEP buses over to BRBP instead..
