th1988 SG After its first launch in 1977, it's been 26.5 years already. Time for a preview Services using DD ever and now (Including withdrawn (1990's) or taken over rts) for the period of 1990-2004 2 72 139 240 361 5 74 142 242 367 7 76 143 243 385 8 78 147 246 410 9 79 151 249 501 10 80 152 250 502 12 81 153 251 511 14 82 154 252 17 85 155** 253 18 86 157 254 21 87 161 255 22 88 165 257 23 89 166 282 25 90 168 285 26 91 174 291 28 93 179 293 30 96 182 300 31 97 186 302 35 98 187 307 51 99 188 321 55 106 189 322 56 107 190 326 60 111 192 327 61 119 193 328 62 130* 196 331 63 131 197 333 64 132 198 334 65 133 199 335 69 135 222 358 70 136 228 359
tranquilice SG You missed out: Services 40, 103, 104, 134, 183, 261 and 382 using NAC DD. Service 84 using VO 2-axles and superbuses. I don't remember I saw DD on services 63, 96, 131 and 155.
SBS9818A SG Sv. 131 never used DDs due to low-lying trees along Henderson Rd. Same for Sv. 124. You missed out Sv. 385
th1988 SG Pls compile a list everyone who knows more during the period 1993-2004. 9818, on my record 385 is on the list.
delonchew SG All these are based on my poor memory. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. 4, 41, 221: Used Leyland Atlanteans 512: Superbus? Weren't the DDs for 96 and 151 trials only? 63 got DDs meh?
^tamago^ SG Service 269 also used Leyland NAC DDs on its last days serving in Singapore.. It also used the Leyland Lynx (SBS3572Y) before for a short while, shuttling between 267 and 269..
th1988 SG 63 used Leyland Atleantan before. I am interested to know abt the rts withdrawn before 1993 like 4, 41.
tranquilice SG Really? Service 41 was integrated with service 197 sometime in late 80s or early 90s. Service 197 does not have MB 0405 during that time.
delonchew SG All I can remember about 41 is that I took it to Parkway Parade, from Bedok Interchange. Service 4 used to run from Pasir Ris to St. Michael before it was withdrawn (replaced by 21?). Brief memories I got only.
tranquilice SG Regarding this service 63, is it the one from Rumah Tinggi to MacPherson Estate? Or an earlier version? Service 41 plied between Bedok and Bt Merah interchanges, it was later integrated with service 197 (former Jurong interchange - Lor 1 Geylang). Service 4 in the beginning plied between St. Michael's and Bedok, later extended to Pasir Ris via former service 19 route. Later it was cut short to Tampines. It was finally integrated with service 21 (Pasir Ris - Lor 1 Geylang). Service 67 (Choa Chu Kang - Tampines via Jln Kolam Ayer and PIE) was amended to cover the part of service 4 route between Eunos MRT and Tampines interchange.
SBS9818A SG I'm inclined to think that its the earlier Sv. 63, as Rumah Tinggi Ter used to have only Sv. 62
off_service SG When did sv 261 and 382 uses double deck? My only recollection is that for AMK, is sv 269, for Eunos, it’s sv 385.
Superbus SG I can SWEAR I've never, ever see a DD on Service 40. And with the condition of Siglap Rd, it is absolutely impossible for a DD to ply that road. Cheers and warm regards
