Talk:Trunk Services 50 - 59

Regarding Bus Service 59 deployments as spotted on 19 July 2024

Usually, Service 59 has 11 assigned perm DDs, which means that there are up to 11 DD duties, however on 19 July 2024 (Friday), only 9 DDs (SBS3189X SBS3255M SBS3273K SBS3284D SBS3297S SBS7515L SG6176A SG6207U SG6264D) were spotted throughout my 3.5 hours camping at Bishan (A complete round trip of Service 59 takes 3.5 hours).

SBS8296L and SG6207U were assigned to be S-Shift Buses according to the duty allocation although on 19 July 2024, both buses departed Bishan at about 1330h and arrived back at Bishan about 1630h, which likely implies that the 2 buses were A/P Shift Buses. SG6207U immediately performed another round trip on Service 59 with a different BC after arriving at Bishan at 1630h.

A Volvo B5LH bus (forgot the plate number though) was sighted arriving at Bishan after deadheading from AMDEP as late as 1500h, which likely implies that the bus was assigned to be an S-Shift Bus even though the duty allocation mentions that all 9 Volvo B5LH buses on Service 59 were A/P Shift Buses.

I suspect that the duty allocation for Service 59 is outdated with regards to the information above, hence could someone help to confirm the new duty allocation for Service 59? Any help is greatly appreciated.
