You assumed all CLE services are under BBDEP. You forgot about Sv. 14 which is ARBP.

Yah, u got me off-guard on this one. But BBDEP controls ARBP in the same way SBS HQ controls AMDEP. Anyway, I thought Svc 14 took over the buses used on the former Svc 92 after they merged & ARBP supplied Svc 14 Mk 2s while BNDEP provided the CRBs (a rare commodity in my area) pre-merger.

SBS9818A SG

BRAM DOES NOT control AMDEP, it is the other way around. If I'm not wrong, and if my memory is working, the old Sv 92 was controlled by AMDEP.

iveco SG

Really? The old Svc 92 was a loop service from CLE Int back in those days. It also had a majority Mk 2 (WA) fleet. AFAIK, WA-bodied Mk 2s have always been dominant in the western region (CCK, BBT, CLE, BNV, BMR Ints).

Service 14 in ARBP? I thought it was deployed by BNDEP & BBDEP.

If all ARBP services move to BB, BBDEP might get bloated. It have to hand some services over to SLBP.

leeJZ SG

Service 14 for some reason is ARBP controlled. Look at the timesheet in the other forum.

tranquilice SG

I had seen a off-service service 92 Mk2 WA NAC coming out from BBDEP.

iveco SG

506 is the top candidate for moving to SLBP in that case.

sbs&tibs SG

No need, some services like 166 can be majority based in AMDEP. push 160 to SLBP, then Maintainace of JB MK3s have to go back to BB or otherwise build one at SLBP. Or else, move 198 over.

Candidates for BBDEP to SLBP:
1: 506 (but a bit too far when travelling back from BDK Int).
2: 160 (maintainace troubles me)
3: 198 (but this guy is control by BMR)

iveco SG

Hard for 160 to be transferred out of BBDEP. All the JB routes are controled from there.

So what if 198 is controlled from BMR, it still counts BNL as one of its terminating points.

SBST390 SG

u gottaask if BNL wanna take another bus:p

SBS9818A SG

Sv 198 comes under the control of Bukit Merah Route Group and has been with BBDEP for historical reasons.

SBST390 SG

not entirely true...

when 198 was still Jurong - Sims Drive, it came under the jurong route group. it only went to BBdep control when it was shorten to Bt Merah BNL. i would think it was sole BBdep deploed for the reason that SLBP/JRdep had too many services to cope with then (dun forget that CLE was previously under JRdep)

hence the statement you made isnot really politically correct

iveco SG

If CLE was under JRDEP control, we wouldn't be seeing Mk IIs on CLE feeders. Instead, we'd be seeing lots of Mercs. Many of CLE Mk IIs sometimes had BBT Int routes' destoes on board. How do you explain that?

SBST390 SG

CM Merz NAC ever did 282, 284 and 285 back in the late 90s

and correct me if i am wrong.. CLE was transferred to BBdep after CCK was given up to tibs

iveco SG

They also appeared on BBT routes like 77 & 361. I believe they were on loan to BBT as many of the MK IIs were retrofitted to CAC during that time. That was before SBS won the NEL tender. During that time, they still controlled the northwest sector.

If CLE was transferred to BBDEP only in 2000, why have the Mk IIs dominated in CLE estate for so long? They have been around since the last B57 was retired. Really quite sick of them sometimes.

Volvo Olympian SG

why? but never mind...u can wait till 7 months later then u won't see da mk2 anymore....

leeJZ SG

SLBP has Mk2s too...svc 333/335 are full Mk2.

iveco SG

SLBP Mk IIs are few in number. BBDEP & HGDEP are majority Mk II & Mk III dominated. Also, CLE svcs occasionally had BBT svcs destoes on board. And I am talking about the period from 1995-9.
