used to have 9323K, 9350G, 9488T but left 31 in some way or another.

All S31 buses from braddell didnt serve 10 years. Thanks to VSOs and K230s.

SBS8533C SG

started off as svc 76 in 1995, followed by 174 n 107.

Actually on 19 Oct 1995, to be exact, SBS997A, the Super Long Bus was actually started off as sv 76 as a trial period. Other routes that are identified for the trial period were 107 & 174, before finnaly settled down to 62 as a permanent service. The trail period for the 3 above-mentioned service each lasted for 3 months (instead of the designated 6 month trial period) before SBS decided to put the super long bus on 62.

SMB32T SG

SBS570Y, SBS571U and some other 0405s within the range were initially perm service 132 when newly registered in 1992, until service 132 got perm ADDs (known as Superbuses) in Mar 1994. The 0405s that left service 132 then went into perm service 138 when introduced in Apr 1994, but left service 138's fleet in June 1998 when converted to PAC.

Spanish hog SG

I think some HGDEP VO3 of 132 had perm since their intro till now; the list include 9429, 9500,, 9515, 9529, 9548, 9549. Pardon me if I'm wrong or missed out any.

9295 and 9319 are also long service winner of 111, since the time of Hougang route as at 1998 or so till the Suntec route currently they are still perms.
