  Ohmy....I didnt know so many Lances burned down.

  Looks like just about every type in SMRT has burned down and written off before. Says a lot about the mainteinance.

  2) Why and when were TIB364H, TIB367A, TIB371L - TIB374D, TIB376Z - TIB377X, CSS178K - CSS184S, CSS186L - CSS193R, CSS195K, CSS200D, CSS203X & TIB1248D - TIB1256E de-registered?
  
  3) Why and when were TIB931X, TIB936H, TIB941S & TIB1004R de-registered?

  1 and 2) ELBOs were a headache to maintain and there a alot of complaints about the ELBOs' crappy condition. UDs are not of much use to SMRT now, most of them being thrown to TRG, some in revenue service.

  3) Burned.

  Leyland Olympian and Volvo Olympian 2-axles never serve 88 before.

  I'm not sure whether Volvo B10M Mark IIs served 88, when did 88 become FAC?

  If I don't remember wrongly, only 378 used Mark IIs, SBS1753E and SBS1891P were the perms on 378 other than one NAC Scania N113CRB, SBS3624G. 379 used only one NAC Scania N113CRB, SBS3600A.

  I'd never seen any NAC Scania N113CRB on 88 before.

  They served 88 before for a few months when 88 was newly introduced. Because of increased demand, it was shortly upgraded to FAC service and then introducing aircon double deckers, within a few months.

  What are the NAC Scania N113CRBs that serve 88? And did any other NAC buses serve 88 before.

  Some questions on deployments of 184:
  
  1) When 184 was introduced by SBS in 1992 or 1993, what buses does it use?

  2) After 184 has been handed over to TIBS on 2 Jul 1995, what rigids does it use?

  3) When did 184 use bendies? What are the bendies it uses during the swop of depot control on 184 between WLDEP and KJDEP?

  1) It used Volvo B10M Mark IIIs. SBS582M, SBS613H - SBS615C, SBS637P - SBS639J, SBS644T, SBS652U and SBS672L were some of the perms.
  
  2) 184 used only OAC O405s. TIB472D to TIB478M were the perms, and soon after, TIB557T, TIB608E, TIB612S, TIB613P, TIB824Y, TIB829J and TIB830D were added into the fleet.

  They do serve for a few months before they were upgraded to FAC service.

  Very short and brief period only.

  88 started out with MKIIIs, MKIV DMs, 0405s and N113s....pretty soon, due to its popularity, when the DM3500s were new-new, they were introduced to the fleet, and then soon after, I believe late 1999, VO3X Batch IIIs were introduced new-new.

  I dont rmbr any NAC 0405s...but certainly WA 0405s were there.

  Ever since 88 was recognised to be a popular service, 88 has been getting brand-new buses whenever it could....less the VSO when they were introduced. So maybe 88 might get Citaros....who knows?

  As we know...88 got the last batch of CDGEs, and the later batches K230UBs....will this trend keep up?

  Stay tuned for more details...
