Sorry, if i quoted your page 4 post on depots of the 1970s.

The depot along Yio Chu Kang Road wasn't known as Ang Mo Kio Depot. But, Paya Lebar Depot.

So when was it renamed Ang Mo Kio depot?

What was the former deplyment of 382 and 385?

If I am not wrong, it should be:

Mercedes Benz OF1417 NZB bodies -> Volvo B10M MK2 DM NAC -> Mercedes Benz O305 (for 385 only) and Volvo B10M MK 2 DM and WA CAC

before their withdrawals.

Paya Lebar Depot was not actually renamed as Ang Mo Kio Depot. It was when its operations began at a bigger complex which is at Ang Mo Kio St 63. The former depot was at Yio Chu Kang Road

Does anyone has the photos of how the former Marine Parade terminal looks like, before it was closed down and covered by VS?

For how long did 16 stayed under Bedok north, and 153 how long at batok?

And for AR-BB/BR/AM, When did they interchange their buses

By the way, for how long 143 stayed at AMK before going to braddell

But 70, 107, 186 remains PAC until 2003, when LO2x were withdrawn, VO2x were transfer to SLBP and 107 became HGDEP.

28 was still PAC, during the SBST times, in 2002, when the service receives a new batch of VSO, then the service was made FAC.

If I am not wrong service 107 was only made FAC when the route was extended to Hougang Central and went under full HGDEP with different fleet of buses.

Service 16 went under full BBDEP in 1999 if I remember correctly. That was when cutback to Marine Parade from CGA. All the BNDEP 16 buses went over to the enhanced service 36.

but then why the sudden change to give AR the control of 16?

SBS8533C SG

but then why the sudden change to give AR the possession?

With the amendment of Service 36 to loop at Tomlinson Road and the conversion to full day service, BNDEP had deployed its former BNDEP 16 buses to Svc 36. Svc 16 became full BBDEP, when Service 16 was made to cutback to Marine Parade.. BNDEP 16 buses at the other hand, also did 16E.

As for the rest, do you know?

I think it was because there were no timekeepers at the old Marine Parade terminal, just like the current Upp East Coast terminal. If I remember correctly all the other bus services that used to terminate there were also single depot controlled.

Do correct me if I am wrong.

Do correct me if I am wrong.

all, except 45 is controlled by both AMK and BN

Not sure when the ARBP started, but ARBP and BBDEP buses are interchangeable.

ok, but do you know how long 153 stayed under batok's control for how long, and 143 @ AMK?

One Harmonius Blend SG

Do correct me if I am wrong.

But then St Mikes also has no time keeping what, so why under AM/BN instead of full BN?

Do correct me if I am wrong.

Before marine Parade Terminal closed,

13 was under hgdep
196 till now it is still under both bndep and bbdep

Service 13 used to terminate at Eunos int in the past, Eunos route group was under HGDEP then (except 93). At that time 13 was under dual AMDEP/HGDEP, can't remember when it came under full AMDEP though.

Service 196 was all the while dual controlled, and was extended to Bedok on the day when Marine Parade terminal closed down.

Service 196 was all the while dual controlled, and was extended to Bedok on the day when Marine Parade terminal closed down.

After the closure of Marine Parade ter, 13 and 16 went under full amdep and arbp respectively. 16 Sep 2001.

Are you sure St Mikes has no time keeper?

Which service are you refering to? Be clear.
