187 was extended to WDL the same day 951 was shortened to BPJ and renumbered 180.

BTW, was 77 under BBDEP all along, even when it was a loop service between Marina Ctr and Farrer Rd? Where exactly did it loop? Was it the same place as 186 before St mike's extension?

it looped at Kheam Hock Rd. last time no farrer flyover = typical u-turns which buses may have problems doing.

Service190 was amended to use BKE and PIE in 1992 or 1993. The previous route was to use BKE and exit at Jln Anak Bukit, using Dunearn Rd to city.

Did remembered the old Sv 183, 200 (From Bt Panjang), 209

Junyang700 SG

Anybody remembered the Turf Club Bus Services SBS introduced when Turf Club Kranji first opened?

I remember that was this Service 788 plying between Clementi, West Coast, Bukit Panjang and Turf Club.

I remembered there is Service 781 to 788.
Never got to take this bus though.

SBS8533C SG

The SBS Krnji Turf Club services were introduced in mar 1999, when the new Kranji Turf Club is opened to the public. There were 5 services altogether but due to underutilisation of its service, all of its turf club service were withdrawn in sep 1999.

781 - From Tampines Int
782 - From Bedok Int
786 - From Hougang South Int (hmm, did it started off from Hougang South before shortening to Serangoon?)
787 - From Yishun Int
788 - From Clementi Int

The defunct SSB company, which operates the CSS services, also operates the Turf Club services (Bukit Timah Turf Club). It only operates on major race days and charged a flat fare of $3 for AC and $2 for NAC.

TC 1 - From Lor 1 Geylang Fringe CP
TC 2 - From Eu Tong Sen St
TC 3 - From Bedok

These 3 services were withdrawn in 1999, due to the shifting of its Turf club operations to Kranji

Even in the earlier ddays, service 402 from Stamford Rd to Bt Timah Turf Club, which is a special service that operates during race days, but it was withdrawn in the early 1980s.

service_238 SG

It was introduced on Sat 25 Sep 99 and were withdrawn a few months after. The turf club moved in Aug 99.

The_Bus_Guide SG

Adding on to my post on 13 sep (regarding about the Ulu Pandan Ter):

For the Ulu Pandan terminal, the only service that still serve the terminal was 188 (Ulu Pandan to Shenton Way), after service 61 was extended to Bt Batok. when the service 188 witdrawn in 1987, the terminal will also have to be abolished, leaving into a quiet state, abandoned without demolition. But until early 1990s, the terminal converted into a seafood restaurant.

Ulu Pandan was a roadside terminal, its location was at the last bus stop before the junction with Clementi Rd. As far as I recall, there wasn't a terminal at the restaurant site and that the restaurant had at one time co-existed with the terminal. There was also a radio taxi stand there (I believe it still exists?). It was taxis rather than buses which parked in the compounds of the restaurant.

SBS8533C SG

The taxi stand there still exists.. btw i just found out this from the makanstura article about the seafood restaurant, Tian Jin Hai Restaurant, the owner who convert the former bus terminal to a seafood restaurant:

http://www.makansutra.com/reviews/2007_0326/index.html

Read the paragraph containing the starting sentence:
"Next, his big break. He was the man who turned a sleepy bus terminal corner at the Ulu Pandan and Clementi Road junction into a seafood haven in 1990..."

I would repeat this again:

171 was from full AM to AM/WL. At the same date after 852, 859 went full WL from full AM, 961 became WL/AM from full WL, 985 from full KJ to KJ/AM. AM 985 inherited ex-AM 852 dennis Lances.

To conclude, some of WL 961 buses went over AM 961, 5 AM 171 buses and KJ 173 permers went over KJ 970, ex-WL 75 Scanias went over WL 171. WL 173 inherited some of WL 75 and WL 970 merczs. WL 61 get WL 700 merczs.

Unsure about KJ 75 fleets though.

Maybe can talk about June redeployment (2nd Round) on past route & deployments as this thread is talking at qns about Singapore buses.

TIB657M SG

Continue from there:

During 1st round,

Some of WL 75/700/970 ELBOs went over 187. They were: TIB841Y, TIB845L which replaced TIB588D (WL 173) and TIB733B (WL 858). TIB846J went SP before it went over 187 to replace in 2nd round as 845L went back KJ 700.

During 2nd round,

Buses which they were from orginally before March went back to the perm services.

For example, TIB468S WL 970> WL 173. Then, it went back KJ 970. The same goes to: TIB469P WL 75> WL 859> KJ 75, TIB490B AM 859> KJ 188???> WL 859

The ex-WL 75 Scanias went back to KJ 75, except TIB669D which is sole WL 171 permer (meant to replace TIB497H or TIB505T, not sure which one). So, which means all of AM 171 permers went over from KJ 970 to WL 171 except TIB497H which stayed. The only KJ 173 permer which stayed at KJ 970 was: TIB625E.

This involved most of total fleets. As the rest of them were not affected on 2nd round. For example. TIB824Y KJ 61 > KJ 700. It did not went over WL 61 with TIB425R and companies, but stayed.

TIB1049L SG

Continue from there:

During 1st round,

During 2nd round,

Buses which they were from orginally before March went back to the perm services.

For example, TIB468S WL 970> WL 173. Then, it went back KJ 970. The same goes to: TIB469P WL 75> WL 859> KJ 75, TIB490B AM 859> KJ 188???> WL 859

The ex-WL 75 Scanias went back to KJ 75, except TIB669D which is sole WL 171 permer (meant to replace TIB505T).

This involved 80% of total fleets. As the rest of them were not affected on 2nd round.

TIB469P was actually perm WL 173 before moving on to WL 859 ... ...
and also don't forget the transfer of Dennis Lances from AM to WL during the 2nd round for Svc 852

TIB657M SG

TIB469P was actually perm WL 173 before moving on to WL 859 ... ...
and also don't forget the transfer of Dennis Lances from AM to WL during the 2nd round for Svc 852

Noted, I mentioned some only. Let me continue from here.

Those Dennis Lance were meant to replace 835, 839, 840 which went back KJ 970.

938, 1009, 1010, 1014 AM 852> AM 985> WL 852

Whereas some of AM 852 Lances still stayed at AM 985.

Those 4 Lances which went over WL were replaced by: TIB759C, TIB760Y, TIB786Z, one more bus I really forgot, sorry.

Well, can say for 2nd round of reployment,

Those which were from KJ 173 like: 761, 785, 787 went back WL 173 from KJ 970 whereas some went over AM 985, 790, 794 went over 177/925 to replace 739 and another bus and the rest went back WL 171.

TIB657M SG

At the same date,

TIB633G, TIB805C, TIB806A and TIB868X went over WLDEP.

Before 2nd round of reployment started, either TIB671X or TIB672T cameoed on 911 everyday. After that, this slot was taken over by TIB868X.

On the first day when TIB633G was x-fered to WLDEP, it was on 912.

One thing I don't really understand is:
Why TIB633G went back KJDEP? Was it because of taking over of WL 920/922 to KJ 920/922?

Anyway, when was TIB1155M went over WLDEP from KJDEP?

TIB657M SG

WL 920/922 (Before handed over to KJDEP)
TIB541M (From WL 75) TIB638T TIB967T (not sure about the last though)

KJ 920/922

TIB633G TIB805C TIB806A TIB966X

WL 920/922 (again)

TIB541M (replaced TIB966X) TIB805C TIB806A TIB762S (From KJ 970)

After became full WL control again, TIB633G went over 970.

TIB1049L SG

WL 920/922 (Before handed over to KJDEP)
TIB541M (From WL 75) TIB638T TIB967T (not sure about the last though)

KJ 920/922

TIB633G TIB805C TIB806A TIB966X

WL 920/922 (again)

TIB541M (replaced TIB966X) TIB805C TIB806A TIB762S

You missed out TIB725A from the WLDEP 920/922 before handing to KJDEP. There were about 2 or 3 buses which went back to KJDEP after transfer to WLDEP during the 2nd round (if i can remember correctly it was either 805C/806A and 633G and 828L).

TIB1155M came to WLDEP during 2nd round of deployments, the very same batch that TIB1154R came to WLDEP, TIB1037X to AMDEP and TIB1062Y to KJDEP.

TIB671X and TIB672T did not cameo on Svc 911 at all during that period. Both cameo-ed on Svc 912 during Nov and Dec 2007 (some speculations on it being perm for Holiday1 schedule). In fact TIB868X's slot had been done by TIB1037X all that while. TIB1032J, TIB1037X and TIB1039R all arrived in WLDEP during first batch redeployment and went to perm Svc 911 about a month after at the same time. It was due to TIB1037X's transfer to AMDEP that TIB868X was redeployed from WL 169 to WL 911.

Similarly TIB1025E left Svc 900 to become a SP bus so that TIB878S could join the fleet from WL 169. TIB1025E was later a 187 WLDEP (believed to be replacement for the burnt 1105H)

service_238 SG

TIB657M and TIB1049L:

Would like to advice you to write up a redeployment article (meaning regos involved) on it based on your posts above. This way if people in the future ask again it would be easier for you to refer to.

Just my a fifth of 10 cents.

The_Bus_Guide SG

The paragraph said he "turned a sleepy bus terminal corner....into a seafood haven". The statement is vague as it didn't mention that the restaurant was built over or converted from an old bus terminal. Neither were there any statements in the article which indicate that the restaurant was formerly a bus terminal.

It was a long time ago but I'm certain that the terminus was a roadside affair because I've seen it before as a 10 yr old kid. Only someone who was old enough to have seen and remember the terminal would be able to confirm its true location.

One Harmonius Blend SG

in the past before 87's route was changed to Bedok to Sengkang, where did it go?

and also for 196 before bedok where did it go?

Rk 2010 SG

and also for 196 before bedok where did it go?

196's route was formerly from Clementi - Marine Parade before being extended to Bedok.
