the past deployment buses thread

ZYX2005 SG

introduction:

this is a new series of thread on old / scrapped or unscrapped buses.

in here i reveal / discuss about old bus deployments of many bus models.

the thread is introduced because now i am re editing my list and concentrating on the past. we all should relive our childhood and learn more about old bus deployments .

in discussing old bus deployments we also get the chance to observe old bus routes n how they run and what models of bus were deployed on them. this topic will be mostly rego specific. the bus model will be stated clearly for the very old regos.

SBS5621B 106T
SBS5622Z 106T
SBS5623X 106T
SBS5624T 106T

i can only confirm for the 5614--5617 and 5621--5624 deployments. the rest of them i am very not sure. in fact very not in the knowledgable.

i should think that these 5xxx rego would be mostly brand new whilst in BRAM but also not very sure..

I suspect some were brand new on 154 or 157. anyone knows?

157 got the 16** series last time before LO2x come in.. i dun think the 56** series were on Sv 157?

ZYX2005 SG

heheh as i say its a mystery to me these 56xx ones.

yes the 16xx one were brand new on 157. hence i suggest the 56xx may have went 157. but i think we both can concurr they never brand new on 157.

in that case other candidates could be 152 or 133 etc

the 133 L A in 1983

anyone recalls old 133 in 1983.

i suspect 5522 to 5532 were brand new on 133 tyhen

5588 ever served 166, while 5595 was seen on 14.

iveco SG

16** series LAs were under BBDEP (& ARBP). How could they be on a JRDEP service?

Anyway, I suspect the 7*** O305s were shifted to HGDEP when the LO2Xes came.

Also what was the reason for LO2Xes to have 35** regoes? I thought the depot coding ended with the O305s.

lemon1974 SG

and why cant Sv 157 have the 16** series LA? and why cant Sv 157 be under BBDEP last time? Are u sure Sv 157 was all the while in JRDEP?

ZYX2005 SG

mr iveco and me lemon1974 have raise good point.

i also myself wondering how is it that the 16xx rego were brand new on 157 and the 154?

we all know 16xx shd be from BBDEp area but my current reasoning is

after the LA alexander R (singapore / Hk O305 style) bodywork came in, they threw out the 'be depot bu registeration" and anyhow whack.

however on the matter of the Lo2x, i would like to point out that certain of the 35xx were new to BRAM. so it seems that confirm after the lo2x are in, by then they really dun care liao.

i willl also like to say that i strongly believe that 157 n 154 were JRDEp then.

5621 was on svc 81 about a year or two before retirement.

Did you guys know that ezlink system was installed on a few LAs (359) just a few months before they are all retired ?

Smile

ZYX2005 SG

hi

yup. yah u told me 5621 do 81. i have it do 31 in my list. by the way i can confirm guarantee 5621 new new on 106 then.

yah my list got capture all the rego of the LA that had EZ link systems.

ZYX

lemon1974 SG

not possible all buses from Jurong int must come from JRDEP mah..
maybe u want to ask around for the answer. from what i know, the LA on Sv 157 did come from BBDEP in the 80s.

ZYX2005 SG

i agree with u on the fact that JR int may have using BBDEp buses. i will have to ask around.

brotherchen1982 SG

Remember see them park in BBDEP facing PIE whenever my Dad's lorry drove along PIE. Laughing

Sometimes got downroute, 157 LAs starts from Jurong Town Hall Rd(Blk 253) aft exiting from PIE to Boon Lay.

ZYX2005 SG

wah seh shocker (to me) . JR int takes bus from BBDEp.

by the way , any other service from jurong int use BBDEp bus before i make many mistakes in the list

(i know today got this 198 very funny at Boon lay int)
