Then when did 37 started to have DDs?
A few years ago, not sure of the exact year, think it was when SBST extended the operation time. -

If I am not mistaken, somewhere in mid 2008. That was when service 37 had all the N113CRB fleets out and replaced with MK4 fleets -

Some question on deployments:
1) Does 37 use DDs when it is introduced in 1995?2) What buses does 134 uses after it was shortened to Bishan in 1992?
3) Does 51 have a full SD fleet before it merged with 54 in 1987?
4) Does any DDs served on 865 after it was handed to SBS in 1999?
1) Full SD fleet, mainly OAC Scania N113CRBs fleet.2) Merc 0305 DDs (for NAC) and Merc 0405s (for AC).
3) 51 already had DDs way back in the 80s with a mixture of 0305s and LO2x.
4) Both 864 and 865 had VO3x since day 1 when handed over to SBST.

Did HGDEP have all the odd-looking Leyland Vikings? I used to see these on routes 7, 50, 382 and sometimes 390.

Some Leyland Vikings were not bodied by Soon Chow but by Strachan... -

I think there is a 353 introduced in 1986 from Sin Ming to Bishan St 31 before it was re-numbered to 57 in 1988 and withdrawn in 1992.
Was the 350 series reserved for Bishan or Pasir Ris back in the late 1980s???

Not sure about that, but it was reserved for Pasir Ris services in the 90s. -

That's so many donkey years ago......around late part of 1994 to early 1995. 18 received brand new VO2X.....those were the days.
I can't remember for obvious reasons.
-
18 had LAs in the early days. Then in 1996 the new VO2Xes started appearing. See already so jealous.

VO2X appeared on 18 before 1995.
110% sure.
Because I moved to Woodlands in 1994 and had to leave my VO2X behind........and face the Hinos on 901. Major downgrade.

Later on in 12/95 the NAC Hispanoes appeared, didn't they?

Absolutely right there. 901 received NAC 0405s in 1995. Absolutely awesome modern buses in their day.Before that, the most modern bus that I wanted to take so badly was the Hispano DAFs.......which were mostly in Yishun, not Woodlands. Woodlands mostly had Nissans. The sliding rear door struck me as rather archaic although I admit that I've also missed that since the phasing out of the NAC Nissans.
