  And if I didn't rmb wrongly, Sv 88 is the last out of those initial svcs that received the then-new-new CDGE B9TLs back in 2006 to go WAB. 

  yes ! this sv 88 CDGE B9TLs doing on this sv for so many years for non-WAB and finally get WAB liao ! just wonder this 9308 AND 9355 will still on 88 when the WAB started ?

  Hmm... knowing dat this sv 85 AND 112 getting WAB soon and 112 hv taken up 3 SP CITAROs so left 2 sp CITAROs for 85 (HGDEP) Dun think is enough for 85 leh or maybe they r going to use the 4 sp kubs ? i think it also time for HGDEP to take in some more NEW SD buses liao !

  I think they will use the 2 citaros and 1 KUB. Because they might save the remaining KUBs for other svcs that has a high chance of turning WAB eg. 159.

  Plus SBST's WAB quota is 60%

  Agree.HGDEP should take in new SD Bus.I think the all the SP citaros and scanias will go to service 85 and 112,HALF-HALF

  85 have only 40% perm WAB buses, I believe it will get at least 3 more replacements by next week. Currently HGDEP only had left with 2 unassigned Citaros. I believe some of the ex-SLBP K230UBs might go to 85 as well, or maybe swop the MK4s with Citaros from 83.

  Not possible as 6068 have ad. And HGDEP don't have tendency of swapping Citaros for fleet upgrade, given 83's example. Maybe DD for SD trade again?

  2 Citaros is enough. The 4 existing WABs plus the remaining 2 SP HGDEP Citaros makes 6/10 (85's fleet size), aka 60%. 

  Just nice.

  Maybe not really SP... just a period when it doesn't serve 159 for some period of time...

  They swap with 83 citaros to meet the WAB quota.According to SGWIKI,SBS 6053J and SBS 6054G is now perm 85,swap with SBS 905R and SBS 1957J.

  Yea, didn't expect they swap it. Now this svc quite flooded with citaros.

  SBST to launch 6 more WAB Services WEF 9 June 2013 >> I'm appalled that only 6 services. S155's berth they just finish constructing recently, why not in the list?

  Good. SBST finally did not repeat their mistake. 

  Saw an unknown DM3500 on 83 today too.

  I think SBST did the swap under last resorts since they did not do it earlier, when other svcs like 325 and 372 were about to turn WAB.
