Spotted a few units of E500s park inside AMDEP
Hopefully they can be deployed on 851 or 860 soon
Yeah its good that AMDEP can finally take in Enviros. Didn't expect to be today haha. Maybe 851 or 854 will be getting Enviros first then it will be 860
About time already...awaiting news of DDs deployed on 851 & 854 soon and hopefully 855 too.
Hope 5888H transfer to AMDEP.Get ready to see mass bendy transfer to KJDEP & WLDEP
I think new DDs will go to AMDEP... and new bendies will go to KJDEP/WLDEP.
Services that should get DDs on priority:
860
854
855
851
If it is BSEP can go to 860! Sure can help one.... Reduce 16 buses to 15 buses and convert 2 SD to DD.

Since 860 is introduced by LTA i might think at least 3 DDs will be deployed.Look at 983 there is 2 DDs and 2 SDs when first started,Currently 1 additional A22 was added.972 from 13 to 15 and now 24 all DD fleets.
For 851,854 & probably 855 dont hope much.851 & 854 might get a BSEP DD and its up to SMRT to deploy a couple of DDs or not.855 is a rare case should they get DDs too.857 i highly suspected to be handed over to AMDEP fully and buses will do ONP at Yishun.As anyone would guess 171 might be shortened to Bt Panjang and Wldep will take fully control when that happens.AMDEP will sustain until they win Sungei Seletar package.
Now AMDEP got 8 enviro500s altogether. 5 production batch and 3 BSEP. But only got 4 BSEP buses that have just been registered, i thought its 5? Someone say previously that 10 enviros altogether are awaiting for registration but now only 9.

I suspect those 3 BSEP might be for 860 and the 5 might goes to 851 & 854.Later batch should be for random svc.
Yesterday went to WLBP to check, these were what i saw...
Newly registered ones:
- SMB3132T
- SMB3133R
- SMB3603B (Not sure if it is wrong info or haven't move to AMDEP)
Others:
- 2 new unpainted A24s
- SMB3135K - SMB3150R
- SMB3606T (Finished painting, no logos, tapes still on the body)
- SMB3607R (Nowhere to be seen, maybe painting in progress)
- SMB3608M (Finished painting, have logos, cleaned body)
- SMB8021Y - SMB8023S

Count 851 & 860 too..I got a feeling LTA order another batch of E500s
It's also possible they might want to increase DDs on AMDEP services that already got DD deployed,
61, 67, 857
Too many buses where they wanna park?

961 side maybe also, since wkends & public holiday always full...

That if AMDEP have so many dds. But now AMDEP give its top priority to Yishun services that doesn't have dds to deploy dds.
My guess is the BSEP DDs will be for 860 (if they are smart)..
The SMRT DDs should go as follows:
1 - sv 61
3 - sv 67
1 - sv 857.
I think 854 BSEP + SMRT should wait until next batch registration.

2 for 851
2 for 857/A
1 for 851x856
Expect some bendy buses will be transfered out to accomodate more DDs.Amdep can compliment those dual depot svc like 61,67,857,961 & 985 for the non BSEP DDs.
The BSEP ones priority should goes to 860..
5074/5075/5077/3604/3605 park side by side in AMDEP today
