WLDEP OCs transferred to cater the needs of 173 WABs and also
replace DAF to make the feeders fully WAB. Whereas they transfer
those 700 MAN would not really affect the svc itself.
I believe this 10 Volgrens will replace the Lances on 853(or
cameo around 811/812/806 etc.) like the Lances do. Thereafter, I
don't think 853 is going WAB that soon unless they throw back those
Volgrens and in-take MANs~
WLDEP gave OC500LEs to KJDEP in order to up 173 and 941 to WABs
(947 maybe soon to come). Also taking that chance to clear off all
the Hinos as well.
I also wonder, why 853 is diverted to ply along KTPH and it is
not WAB? Whereas other services like 811, 851, 852, 855, 857, all
WAB but not the ones going to KTPH. It seems illogical this
way...
