last SG · 2010-03-07T11:18:26+00:00

no.. the exit was now being used as normal.. except for that burnt area, which was covered up by canvas.. those sv45/265/268 layover buses seem to park furth...

The fire spreaded around service 25 parking area.

SBS7483U is on 76 today. Phew~

wonder whats the B9 then.

Perhaps SMRT could take this incident seriously.

If a fire spark out at their depot, perhaps the consequences could be even worse than this.

seriously amdep needs to take stringent measures to prevent this incident from happening again.

9889U (166BB)

9889U is more of a bodywork demo though.

9888Y is the first VSO to land in Singapore, then followed by the batch of VSOs then the one special chassis for the CDGE bodywork.

They dun have any emergency plans in the first place...):

again? the last fire was in 1995 which was 15 years ago. its not like fires are breaking out in amdep every other month or so..

This shld mean 25 will have cameos, then probably redeployments... Sadly, the VSO demo gone, but on the brighter side, I hope that some special redeployments will be made....

maybe 25 will get the first batch 2 B9TLs.

TIB1083L SG

maybe 25 will get the first batch 2 B9TLs.

May end up ordering a few more KUBs instead

Its too early to say. You will have to wait and see.

thats terrible...

considering theres about 15 yrs of lifespan left, i have an inkling that they might fix it. anyway the damage looks less serious than the LO and VO.

with the info that 9888Y was involved, i have a feeling that the buses are (mostly, if not all) sv25 buses.

9013E died in the amdep fire in the mid-90s, along with 2 Merc and a few LO2x/LAs Did they fix it?

maybe sbst decided to end the lifespan of the damage buses..
they got to work extra hard for the batch 2 B9s to replace these damaged buses..

in SBST's history they never saved any bus that was burnt.

nope. but the thing is im also looking at the damage to the b9. it doesnt look that serious. not sure about 9013's and the other buses case but i feel it can be saved

i thought 996C burnt at toa payoh and they saved it?

smrt3099 SG

They will focus more on Kubs instead...

996C's case was a minor fire which did not result in 3/4 of the bus being burnt to the ground like now.

service_238 SG

Some stats for all of you to crunch.

13 SP DDs in amdep, 11 SP DDs in bndep, 3 SP DDs in brbp

That's 9.21% of DD fleet for amdep, 5.45% for bndep. 4.54% for brbp. Combining amdep and brbp fleet gives 7.73%.

What are the odds a depot transfer is likely thanks to this incident? 0%

Given the extent of the fire its more economical to scrap the bus than to save it.

the b9 doesnt look like 3/4 of the bus burnt to the ground.
