  SBS3009H
  (BN 168)  (BN 17)

  Confirmed with new 'SV 17' perm stix in BC cabin. 7617B might have went over to 168, because I still spotted 7569G yesterday on 17. Seems like the Sv 168 SL really hates the Voith B9s.

  Or rather BNDEP is more protective towards the newer batch of Wrights by putting them around its vicinity.

  (BN SP) - (BN 33)
  
  Unless there's another BNDEP Citaro being used for 33, BNDEP wouldn't skip 6150L but put in 6151J as perm BN 33, cause they tend to put the new buses in according to rego sequence. This one if anyone has anymore info can help to update. 6150L is on 33 today, together with 6153D.

  For 1953U it was stuck on 518 last week, and did some services these few days which I can't recall now.

  Today for BN 33, I spotted 1918Y 1950C 1974J 2629A. 1959D is on 32 today, didn't see the other Mk4s.

  
  6150 is confirmed. split shift perm only.

  What about 6153D? If i'm not wrong, I think there should be 3 Citaros that went in 33, do help me check.

  - SBS9069U is confirmed still perm 154. This confirmed that SBS7685D replaced SBS896H which went to 506, not SBS9069U.

  - SBS9165A is still perm 143.

  To be honest, I don't think 17 getting these newer Wrights is a good thing. These Voith Wrights that Service 17 got are really really sluggish even under full acceleration. Not sure if it's the maintenance or just the gearbox itself (I think more so the gearbox), but they pick up speed much slower than the ZF Wrights Service 17 used to have. The 310hp feels restricted to something like the 245bhp that the VO3x have. 

  But as someone else posted on another forum, the decision to swap out the Voith Wrights from 168 (except 3008K cause it has the MDIS ad contract) has to do with the bunching problem they create. The ZF Wrights would always catch up with the Voith Wrights on 168 everytime during peak hours, so I guess the 168 SL (I suppose he is from BN since 168 is majority BN) got too fed up so he requested the swap.

  Yah, I had posted in the Citaro thread earlier that I had seen it was on 33 today. I was asking if anyone knows if 6153D is perm 33 now.

  Looks like the Citaros are not replacements for MK3s but rather the MK4s.

  It seems like 178 is getting an additional full day start, reducing 1 Split. 567P is starting on 178 as a full day now.
