Originally posted by SBS8676Z:True enough... I dun understand why AMDEP keeps pampering 857 with more new DDs while 854 keeps getting dumped with more old bendies instead. Seems like SMRT heck care 854 WAB quota which is a very bad thing for the PIWs taking this route. Worse still all the new SMRT DDs keeps going into other depots to improve other WAB quota while 854 remains status quo. And what is most disappointing is that 854 is not included in the Sungei Seletar package.
I will want to see AMDEP take in more DDs (be it WEG or A95 or even E500s intake from KJ/WL side) by end of this year to improve 854 WAB quota. If not, AMDEP should take out all the DDs from 857 in exchange with the old bendies from 854 though. Another way is move 854 back to WLDEP (while 167 and 980 move more duties to AMDEP in return).
As of this morning there were still 3 consecutive NWABs spotted. Alongside with 3606T and the rest rigids.
Whereas for 960 case, it seems easier for improvements since 960 is under WLDEP.
857 has been in the limelight since so many complaints that the svc lack of high capacity during peak hours.

Add in SMB5079B too

In other news, suspect:
TIB1030P >> KJ SP (likely overnight park at CCKI for CCK feeder or as spare bus)

SG5740C - SG5744T reported to be in SMRT livery. They might go to SMRT Loyang in 3 weeks time.
I hope 854 will get no more than 28 buses and with at least 10 DDs by the end of this year.
854 might also be the first bus service to get 3 different models of WAB DDs. SBST only has 2, but might get the E500 and/or the A95 soon.

What i heard is 61/67 will be majority KJDEP,AMDEP will take majority for svc 169 & 969..A few duties will be given to AMDEP too.

U mean the A95s are for 61,67,169 and 969?

I believe SMRT will spread around B9TLs,A95s and Citaros across all 3 Depots with the exception of OCs which will stay in AMDEP/LYBP & KJDEP/BUBP

If got 10 DDs no need for 28 buses already..Ideal fleet will be 8 A95s,3 E500s,10 OC500LEs and 5 O405Gs..
I suspect CCK service like 172 and 983 have gotten at least a perm B9TL.
Lookout for svc 188 and 190 too.972 also i suspect will get at least 2-3 perm B9TLs.

Thus far the B9TLs like keep cameoing on 180 (i see sgwiki already states 2 of them as 180 perm)... for 172 not yet from what i observe.. 983 got B9TL cameos once in a while only.. highest occurrence still 180

SMB5079B cameoed quite frequently on 985 actually together with SMB5067K.. spotted quite a few times over the past 3 weeks..
Originally posted by SMB3163D:Suspect TIB1151Z - TIB1153T also onp at CCK int
yes felt so too.. but then like not so fixed also..the non-WAB bendies on 300/302 (other than the permers) like keep changing every few weeks... there was like a week or so when buses like TIB1029U, TIB1036Z, TIB1101T keep cameo CCK feeders but they no longer do so these few weeks..
Since the 5 972 perm enviros were transferred to TT,
3533U 3592Z 3593X >> KJDEP 972
*Spotted 3592Z on 972
Some perm 180 enviros >> BUDEP 985 (BUDEP right?)
*Spotted 5079B on 985
Meanwhile the replacements for the enviros would most likely be the B4 B9TLs... I suspect one 983 bus perm 972 too
Edit: didnt notice someone posted it already..Subsequently you will see more SMRT service using B9TLs too.Not limited to the one to one exchange with TT.Im not suprised if SBST start getting A22 and A95 also.
SMB3132T SMB3133R SMB3134M SMB3135K SMB3138C SMB3139A SMB3140U SMB3141S SMB3142P +3 more A22
>> WLDEP
Most likely in exchange with the 12 Citaros to SMRT (SG1030U - SG1041M >> AMDEP / KJDEP)..
I feel like Kjdep will take those Citaros and probably Wldep too.Amdep already have 60 Citaros.

Prefer only AMDEP take in so can make full fleet slowtaros.. Better than mix with other buses and cause bunching..
