Suspected Redeployments (Part 4)

• SMB238S

  29 Aug 14, 20:56

  1. TIB455D
  WLDEP SP//184 > WLDEP 187//184
  
  TIB455D is common seen under retired TIB450S / TIB451P's former deployment (WLDEP 187//184). TIB460M and TIB461K are also seen on 187//184 often, but more observation in order for me to confirm it.
  
  TIB493T, TIB762S, TIB779U are (rather) the (most) sticky 187 O405s.
  
  2. SMB233E
  WLDEP 902/901*//969 > WLDEP 187/902/901*//969
  
  From my 2 years observation, SMB233E has been cameoing (rather often) on 187, after performing on 902AM52. SMB233E is (also commonly) seen on 187 during the Republic Poly's school holidays. 
  
  3. Unknown 856 bendy bus (suspected TIB1038T)
  WLDEP 856 > WLDEP 176
  
  Unknown 963 S1 bendy bus (suspected TIB1046U / TIB1154R)
  WLDEP 963 > WLDEP 176
  
  4. Unknown 961 O405
  WLBP 961 > WLDEP SP
  
  SMB1438A is seen replacing a O405, but I can't really spot which O405 got kicked out.
  
  TIB522T, TIB573X, TIB576M, TIB577K, TIB818R, TIB831B are sticky to 961.

  Currently the spares are running on 985 randomly... while bumped into 248M consecutively 3 days straight randomly at different places...

  9573E 

  (BNDEP SP)>(CGBP 81)

  seem like sticking on 81 after it's return! Anyway I suspect 3799K not doing 81 alr ever since 9573E returned from service unexpectedly!

  I not sure if I see correctly about the perm stix on Service 261... Can someone double confirm with me....

  SBS 8793 T (56 AMDEP - 261 AMDEP)
  SBS 8786 P (SP AMDEP - 261 AMDEP)

  I confirmed and guaranteed of SBS 8847 Y perm on 261 coz the stix is obvious... If so, where the perm buses like SBS 5063 L, SBS 5162 J, SBS 5163 G?

  Although Wiki reflects otherwise, I think 3799K 3812E and even 3796T were never perm 81 at any point in time. They were probably just long-term replacements for 9573E, which sat in the workshop repairing the floorboard or whatever else was wrong with that bus.

  Cheers. 9573E still on 81 today (05 Sep), same slot as yesterday's during AM peak.

  Agree that mean 9573E should be full day perm Sv.81 same as last time.?

  5163G did 25 on Tuesday, may be a permanent swap for 8847Y.

  2765P and 2768G very likely perm 89 by now. Seen both of these buses one on 89e daily. Does anyone know which buses are out?

  Seems like 2 of its striders could have gone to trg bus? I do know 1973L has side and rear cameras attached to the bus some time ago. Did not spot some of the striders for some time on other svcs imo.

  I've a feeling that even if the DM3500s are perm HG 89, only one of them is. I spot 2768G more often on Sv 89 & 89e than 2748P.

  I still see 941K 1899T 1975G 1976D all on Sv 89 this week. I didn't spot 1973L yet.

  As for the DDs on Sv 89e, I still see 3751Y & 9394E on Sv 89 this week. Haven't seen 9502K yet.

  Very likely so, but shall wait till next week's Weekdays to verify again. I don't want to confirm it too early like 3812E's case and then revert the edit again too soon.

  I have a strong feeling that some buses have their parking arrangements changed.

  178 964 WPDEP  WLDEP

  856 WLDEP  WPBP 

  Can someone confirm this? WPBP buses are very sticky and don't come out cameoing around on other svcs outside, Likewise you don't see SEBP buses coming out to do WLBP services, GYBP svcs on YIBP svcs, These buses are super sticky and don't come out unless they have to.

  For 964, I have already confirmed back in August that all of its perm buses will be parked at WLDEP with effect from 24th August 2014.

  178 also has changed it's parking location, now at WLDEP, and I suspect 856 might be involved since the 178 and 964 changed their reporting locations.

  178 and 964 definitely have a change in depot, from WPDEP to WLDEP. 
  As for 856, I think it is still under WLDEP, because judging from the recent cameos, they are mostly from service 187, 964, while the 856 buses cameo-ed on WLDEP services.
  
  Instead, 963 got a change in depot. As SMRT annonuced two months ago, 106, 188, 190, 850E, 951E, 960, 963, 966, 972 will receive the BSEP ADL E500 MMC buses. Yup, and 188, 951E, 960, 963 will get their enviros soon, likely to be on 22 September 2014. In order to park those enviros, they need to have a depot change. So 178 and 964 got a transfer in depot to make more spae for 963 buses.

  Saw 8030L parking inside AMDEP yesterday, redeployed from SLBP to AMDEP?
