Then what are the buses perming on 852 before 1996? Mostly Hino HT238K/HT228KA/Nissan U31SCN.. Before Sv 852 gets their set of AC buses with the conversion t...

What I mean is that all the bendies left service 82 during its final days under Tibs, just before 82 went back under SBS.

things went better 4 svc 82 once sbs took back ctrl in 1999, it was made fac on the 1st day of handover n subsequently double-decks were introduced.

however situations made a turnback for after NEL rationalisation, route cutback to s'goon and double-decks were gone, another setback when 82 got NACs running again in 06'

Gus.chong SG

Yes.

I am not very sure TIB542K and TIB600B permed which service before that, it might be SP. After TIB799L and TIB809S left 167, it went to the newly introduced service 960.

TIB495M initially did 167 in 1996 after the swop, after which it was replaced with TIB600B somewhere in 1998.

TIB542K and TIB600B were not SPs before perming 167. I remember the two were perm on SS7 and 176 respectively.

And I don't remember TIB495M doing 167 as a perm bus.

Which part of 82 force it not to use DDs?

Also to add on that 374D and 375B also permed service 167 before in 1995.

Once the 79x-8xx 0405s came into 167 in early 1996, AMDEP side left only with 497H 499C 500G 502B 503Z 505T. All the remaining 0405s plus the 2 Nissan UDs left 167.

Which part of 1995? I never seen Nissan buses doing 167 before. When is the last time where Nissan buses do 167?

August 1995.

Due to drop in ridership after nel opened, furthermore cutback to become short haul svc. No point in sbst putting double-decks on tis svc.

Services 81, 82 and 103 were among those services that were cutoff from CBD areas to terminate at Serangoon interchange in order to reduce duplication with the NEL.

Meanwhile 107 was extended to HGN from SER to make up for the loss of 97 and 82 and provide a direct connection between HGN and Shenton Way/Suntec.

I suspect the buses from 82 went over to 107 and vice versa.

Yup, can say so. Service 107 then went under full HGDEP controlled and aslso upgraded to FAC fleet with VO3x. Before that service 107 under AMDEP had a number of NAC buses in its fleet.

Noticed that after the NEL rationalisation in 2003, there was a massive transfer of VO2x from HGDEP/BNDEP/AMDEP to SLBP to replace the outgoing LO2x on the JIS services. Services like 153 and 165 were also upgraded to FAC with VO3x replacing VO2x.

What buses replaced the double-deckers? The Volvo B10M Mark II?

What double-decks did the 82 use at first? Is it Leyland Olympian 2-axle (The 10.4m Double-Decks)?

Gus.chong SG

Services 81, 82 and 103 were among those services that were cutoff from CBD areas to terminate at Serangoon interchange in order to reduce duplication with the NEL.

Service 81 did use double-decks after the NEL Rationalisation.

What about 103? Did it use any double-decks in SBS before?

When is the year where SBS6776G - SBS6975Z were manufactured and de-registered and what models are they?

SBS & TIBS SG

Removed.

TIB1086D SG

I remember when I was in secondary between 1990 till 1994, svc 240 used LO2 with rego 6951, 7130, 7131....

sbst275 SG

No. The Leyland Olympian 2-axle is deployed to most services in the Jurong area.

LO2x was everywhere until late 1990s.

103 used to have LA till Tibs hto.

I dun think e VO3x on 82 disappeared immedately aft NEL commencement, 82 in fact had pretty good freq until it was rationalised.

And 136 had LO2X into the early 2000s.

Soon after 136 lost the LO2X, in the NE region, it was 165 next that lost the 0305s and the VO2X, while 74 held on to its 0305s till they were scrapped.

That's what I can remember.

Yah

I remembered 154 as well.

74, 154 had lots of DDs back then. Come to think of it, most SBS svs tat could have DD, SBS tried to dispatch as many DD as far as possible
