isnt the first service a CSS?

Oceane SG

Err... that's before when they were still in CSS livery and bearing the CSS plates? Rolling Eyes

BTW, not all converted UDs went to WLDEP straight. They were in AMDEP for a brief period of time before most of them went to WLDEP.

SV 59 (when took over from SBS) used Scania L113CRL WAs before.TIB658K to TIB662Y

TIB1049L SG

Yes, but not at the start. Did appear on 900 and 901 in 1999

TIB1049L SG

TIB1049L originally AMDEP 859. Kena transferred to WLDEP then perm 901. It was until this year when the sharing of 900/901 perms idea was implemented that it went perm as 900/901.

I am not sure about this, but svc 900's first original fleet includes:
TIB456B - Sadly now 950 perm, always neglected
TIB726Y - Noted for theTraffic police ad.
TIB855H - Back then was the only full ad. perm bendy bus on 900 which is the energizer ad. The pic of this bus with the ad. and serving 900 could be seen at Yim's Brother. There was once when there was some sort of accident in WRI and the news reported. The bus was seen exiting the interchange Laughing
Until now this is the only bendy that had ever served 900 with a full body ad.
TIB877U

Yeah. After that buses like TIB830D came in for a while before TIB904A came in. It was not until this year when SMRT decied to put Habit perms in 900.

The 2 Volgren bendies (1181L, 1183G) are the originals of 900. Not sure about 999B and 904A.

Apex-LW'21 SG

MB O405G Volgren bendies did 184 before going to Woodalnds Depot, is it true anyway?? Seen some of the volgren bendies did 184 before in 2001/02.

TIB1049L SG

For TIB425R i rmb the BIH list. First appeared on 951

SBS1985C SG

SBS9801Y - SBS9807G

28 (BRBP)

TIB1049L SG

Yes. Got photo evidence somewhere also. There are only two though, TIB1193C and TIB1194A.

And TIB1038T started off in KJDEP serving 190 first then kena transfer to WLDEP to do 856?

Oceane SG

If I remembered, 1038 was one of the first bendies to be registered.

Volvo Olympian SG

Service 184 was under WLDEP not long later it transfer to KJDEP due to the Introduction of Svc 966 in 2003.

Yeah , not to forget 1038T , the ''mascot'' bus Laughing

TIB1049L SG

1038T is also the bus shown on the SMRT poster which its livery is kena photoshopped de. Poor thing Laughing

Other than TIBS used to have brochures of the introduction of the Habits. I still have it

When 900 got TIB904A, TIB855H was transferred over to do 184 WLDEP until 184 is x-fer to KJDEP. This bus also followed on to serve 184 KJDEP. TIB877U left then too. Thats about when TIB999B came in.

Oceane SG

Just found something.

The reason why TIB 1019 Z, TIB 1020 T, TIB 1021 R, TIB 1022 M and TIB 1023 K were registered around the same time as the ZF bendies (more precisely, those after 1100) was because these 5 regos were originally planned for 5 more UK Lances but Tibs decided to register them as private-plated buses, this leaving these 5 gaps. These gaps were only closed when Tibs registered the bendies after 1100.

TIB1018B SG

Service 852 had these replacements due to the fact that KJDEP transferred duties to AMDEP.

For those ex CSS CAC Nissan UDs, I remembered that WLDEP initially had TIB1248D-TIB1250X whereas AMDEP got TIB1251T-TIB1256E. A lot of such Nissans made appearances on services 167, 171, 852, 853, 855, 961 followed by 980. More of them got transferred over to WLDEP and made cameo appearances on Bt Panjang feeders 920 and 921. Service 980 under WLDEP also had permers for a short while if I am not wrong. After Feb 2006 Bt Panjang feeders got back their former Merc perms, and eventually landed on perm service 178 Laughing

TIB1257C was once former CSS310U and was perm service 608. After becoming TIB registered, it did cameos on AMDEP services like services 67, 171 etc. Eventually became service 980 permer in June 2005.

Apparently not on 963 all the time. That day it cameoed on 900, so I went to the artcticulator to pick up the tix thrown over there. WHat happened was all the tix over there came from 1109Y itself, but the service stated was either 912 or 913. There are 9 tix in total there and yet all 9 tix have different dates Laughing

TIB1018B SG

The 2 Volgren Lances also: TIB1017D and TIB1018B Laughing

TIB1017D started on service 169.
TIB1018B started on service 853.
Both landed on service 851 when 851 became under AMDEP. Services 169 and 853 got NAC Nissans in return

Oceane SG

Oh yea. Forgot about those. TIB 1017 D was originally given TIB 1022 M, while TIB 1018 B was supposed to be TIB 1023 K.

TIB1049L SG

TIB971E
One of the most confusing Volgren Merz. Started off as WLDEP SP, then became 858 WLDEP, then recently redeployed to 963
