Redeployments (Part 10)

SMB32T SG

theres bound to be more going over. KJ get new bus throw old bus to WL for WL to use the old bus to rid of its old old bus.

lol...

Old bus = MB0405s

Old Old bus = Nissan UDs

Then ELBO Scanias? Well the true fact is that the MB0405s are older than the ELBO Scanias

Info from SBS8533C:

TIB471G
(KJDEP 700) (WLDEP SP)
On 178 today.

Seem that they are targetting on ex-WLDEP buses.

What do you mean?

SBS8533C SG

info from TIB1049L

TIB446E
KJDEP 700 to WLDEP ( today on 178).

Seems that more KJDEP O405 buses were x-fered to WLDEP, due to the incoming of new OCs dispatched to KJDEP.

SBS2601D SG

Old buses posted to WLDEP maybe they will burnt the Old buses @ Senko which is nearer to WLDEP ?

If we do that, we'll probably bust our Kyoto Protocol requirements.

i saw it on 856 yesterday. will check out ltr. i find it a bit strange when ytd 471G did 178 though.

will keep alookout for more.

It is a trend that whenever AMDEP and KJDEP takes in new OC500LEs, the 0405s from AMDEP/KJDEP will get thrown over to WLDEP. This practice had been carried out ever since last year when OC500LEs began to hit the roads.

Does that mean those Scania-based service can get Mercz O405s? like 178 etc?

It will get O405s as cameos.

look, i mean where is 178 gonna get Scanias from? i mean the rest of the services dont hv much to transfer over though

Bus services like 859 and 961 which has Scania perms might get more Merc fleets, Scanias from these services will most prob go over to perm 178 to replace the outgoing Nissan UDs.

For example during the last redeployment, service 962 got TIB959S and TIB960L to replace TIB637X and TIB639R which went to 178. Whereas service 961 got TIB504X to replace TIB642E which went to 852.

Looks like it is fated that services 178 and 852 will not get Merc perms, they will get Scania perms for this case.

TIB657M SG

What do you mean?

KJDEP threw back those ex-WLDEP buses back to WLDEP. The last bus which was originally from KJDEP x-fered to WLDEP was: TIB522T. After that, KJDEP sent back 731G, 733B, 746P, 747L, 752X, 763P to WLDEP. In exchange, ex-KJDEP buses in WLDEP like: 761U, 771R, 774H, 787X, 791H went back to KJDEP.

So, what I am trying to say is: WLDEP would get more orginally WLDEP buses like: 433S, 443M, 469P, 727U, 728S etc.... from KJDEP. And WLDEP won't intake any orginally KJDEP buses like: TIB519D, TIB597C, TIB625E etc... anymore.

TIB657M SG

But no more SP Merczs on AMDEP anymore, many SP B1 OCs and Dennis Lances instead.

TIB1049L SG

As for now the current trend seems to be transferring buses under former WL 700. TIB446E and TIB471G were former WL 700 before going to KJ ... ...

SMB32T SG

But no more SP Merczs on AMDEP anymore, many SP B1 OCs and Dennis Lances instead.

For AMDEP side, regardless of whether the 0405s are SP or not they were still land up in WLDEP. It had been many occasions for service 854 whereby its perm Mercs suddenly landed up in WLDEP - had missing perms before OC500LEs form AMDEP replace them.

It won't be not long before more this sudden transfer within AMDEP takes place again when more OC500LEs comes in I suppose.

Hey people! Here are the re-deployments seen as of today and yesterday.

TIB446E
(KJDEP 700 WLDEP SP)
On 178 today.

TIB471G
(KJDEP 700 WLDEP SP)
On 178 yesterday.

TIB474Z
(KJDEP 700 WLDEP SP)
On 178 today.

TIB477R
(KJDEP 176 WLDEP SP)
On 961 today.

It's noted that the ex-WLs from KJ are coming back to WLDEP. :) But, somehow, it's targeted at expired advert buses, indicating Biscuits World and Nikon D700 is expiring. But, that does not explain for 474Z.

Anyway, something interesting. On Saturday, NONE of the perm buses from former WLDEP did 700, except 740E. But today, 556X, 546A, 728S, 433S and 468S are seen on 700. 442R and 738M on 75, 469P and 443M are on 184. 727U and 472D are missing. 809S is presumed to be on 188 tomorow.

TIB471G on 961 today.

TIB474Z also did 187 today.

but then wouldnt it be un-balanced? i mean 75 has DAFs, but have some mercz permers, whereas 178 is like more Scanias, no mercz permers.

A bus service does not need to be balanced to operate. SMRTB can decide to put a full fleet of O405s, DAFs, Scanias or even UDs on just one service.

One Harmonius Blend SG

up tp them, if that makes them happy, so be it.

Now seeing a 178 on a mercz is like seeing an 858 on a Scania though
