dun think BN swap a VO3x with the N113. Think AMDEP just borrow a few N113 few weeks back to cover the shortages of buses before the new K230 are deployed. Now with around 30 new K230 in AMDEP, it seem space not enough and thus send back one N113 first. Think the other will be send back when these K230 are all deployed.

Sooner or later BNDEP will be freed up with lots of empty spaces when the Scania N113 CRBs are progressively phased out. Dunno whether BNDEP will take in the new Scania K230s or instead take in Volvo MK4s from other depots that got the Scania K230s.

Not sure. The SBS 8161S I took had no sticker whatsoever anywhere.

-beehoon SG

For svc 34, aft new scanias r DEPLOYED:) , SBS971Z, SBS991R, SBS995E and SBS2690X r still spotted on 34 so these buses most probably will remain in 34's fleet.

From wad i can see, e prev bc who drive mark IV, some of them became bc of the scanias but e mark IV buses dey drove previously r still in the 34 fleet. for e.g ex perm SBS971Z driver seen driving SBS8079Y but SBS971Z is still in fleet.

todae (20/5/08) in sequence of arrival:
SBS8079Y -P Shift driven by ex SBS971Z bc
SBS815?? -can't see rego clearly
SBS971Z
SBS991R
SBS8134X - A Shift driven by ex SBS953B bc
( nt sure gt bus in tis slot anot )
SBS995E
SBS815?? -can't see rego clearly
SBS2690X

Oceane SG

For svc 34, aft new scanias r employed, SBS971Z, SBS991R, SBS995E and SBS2690X r still spotted on 34 so these buses most probably will remain in 34's fleet.

Nicely done. SBS547R was on S59 today.

I saw SBS8165G along Loyang avenue towards Bishan with passengers, EDS displaying OFF SERVICE, at about 9.45am. I was on SBS8167B on the ooposite side then.

EDIT: Heard SBS8162P was also on S53 today, doing S-shift.

Wasn't able to keep track which bus was off 53 today. =D

Something I noticed was that most of the K230s doing 53 were required to paste their "Shortfall List" - Does it mean inspection checklist for the bus? on the bus.

Wonder if it was the same for all other services that had K230 on their first days.
