What happen to 8900B no news since 2011. Sad to c the first scania to deregister

Its really2 bad when i saw the picture. Gone case already and cannot be repaired.

Actually if anyone does think about, the demand at UEC is quite miserable if I might say. Yes, there is some crowd during Weekends because of the food centre and nearby supermarket. And yes, it's probably present also to service the private estate residents on Weekdays. So I'm not sure even if those svcs will stay there or get shortened to elsewhere someday.

And honestly, I've mostly seen empty buses leaving UEC on service usually at almost every time period possible. It's kinda like Sv 48 terminating at BNDEP? Like practically no one boards Sv 48 for the first stop out of BNDEP as well.

I prefer if they make a terminal at the Victoria School Site of the former Marine Parade terminal 10 yrs back instead of going all the way to UEC.

Thanks for the info on 8900B, really unfortunate for it to be scrapped after only a few years.

The demand in UEC is no doubt low but i would say it's to provide more travel options for students in Temasek Pri/Sec as well as ppl heading to Bedok Camp.

Do u have the pic for 8900B accident

Think BNDEP not enough BCs compared to AMDEP side?

haha when control of many services is shifted over from a relatively accessible depot like BNDEP, to a 'ulu' depot stuck at the end of an access road like CGBP, it adds on to the workload and troubles that BCs face, and BCs might be unhappy.

SMB321J on 855 spotted by user dan474. 855 coming over to WL or 321J going to AM or Breakdown replacement?

Should be a depot transfer. If 855 were to come over then the citaros should have followed, or jump around on other services. But seems to be the 4TQ buses are fixed so it should not stand a chance of getting switched over.

855 got 14 buses 9 WAB buses. 5 Non WAB buses. Highly suspect the 5 non WAB will come over. The sole OC and the demonstrator shld be staying with AM.

Actually WL got alot of Spare MAN to fleet add 855 if 855 needed a fleet add.

I would say that if they want to provide options for pax in those areas, there are services that could be extended to other areas instead of UEC. Means the services still serve these impt areas, just that they don't have a terminating point there? UEC as far as I see it now, is really under-utilised. If you go UEC on Weekdays after 7.30-8pm onwards, it's like a ghost town, a really eerie atmosphere with underlit lighting.

SBS 9631X SG

Actually I'm also wondering too how the BCs get to CGBP if the buses on the services they are driving are parked in CGBP. Is there specific Employee Buses to send the BCs there? Or they have to ride/drive their own private transport there?

There's another set of interior pics of 8900B floating somewhere on another FB page (can't rmb which exactly now). The front supporting pillar of the first few windows were like totally wiped out and uprooted from their original position. Plus I guess the flooring has one big gaping hole.

SBS7303G is back on Sv 21 today. But should be under BNDEP control now. It's on another timing as far as I know. Idk how many more duties they transferred, will try to find out soon.

Confirmed:

SBS8417E
(BN SP) (BN 39)

Fleet add to Sv 39.
My last post about 8417E was in the Suspected Redeployments thread, dated 05 Apr. Since then 8417E has still been on Sv 39 almost daily, even on weekends. Weekdays it's on a fixed timing. And referring back to SBST's press release on the List of Improved services for Jan-Mar 2013, Sv 39 is on that list (that list is usually for fleet adds, or fleet upgrades from SDs to DDs).

3 consecutive quarters that Sv 39 has gotten a fleet add. Jul-Sep 2012 it had 8328D, Sep-Dec 2012 8205A went in, then Jan-Mar 2013 8417E went in as well. But different from previous two adds, 8417E's timings this time round so far are reflective of a A/P slot. It appears in the middle of the day usually from Tamp to Yishun. The previous 2 adds were S-shifts.
