Service 5 redeployments

Hi, to reply your question regarding SBS6635E, SBS8829A & SBS6655Y

Sv 5 had a new weekday timetable wef 25/11/2019, and here are the following changes/redeployments:

• SBS6192R is the replacement for SBS6635E, unsure about SBS6635E's current status but saw it frequenting 57 & 195 recently I think
• SBS8829A & SBS6655Y came in to fill up vacant slots previously used by the SPAD K230UBs which left UPD 5 for UPD170/A sometime in August/Sep 2019
• 2 UPD 5 A/P single deck slots remains vacant, with random UPD buses getting deployed on these two slots.

On a side note:

• SBS8335H is the replacement for SBS6211U from 12/08/2019 onwards
• SBS8335H transferred over from BNDEP > UPD 5 wef 28/7/2019, with SBS5065G transferring over from UPD > BNDEP 5 as SBS8335H's replacement.
• SBS8335H ran as a UPD Spare bus for a couple of weeks before it replaced SBS6211U under UPD 5.

Hope this clears up the air

Best Regards, SBS3118B

It should be cameo on 3966u slot. Only weekday peak can observe, since off peak only 1 dd full day

guides does not deem as perm as per guidelines here. bus drivers can take guides and place on the svcs they are doing or in the past and left it there and it went back to its perm svc. suggest more time should be observed till perm is concluded. thanks

A22 E5s on 160

Hi, just to clarify, where did you find the info that 1704J 1715C 1716A are redeployed to 160 other than on the SPAD documents/fare chart inside the bus? As far as I know, these 3 buses were not often spotted on 160, and the SPAD documents only means what service the bus is allowed to operate on, not necessarily what it will be redeployed to.

Thanks and regards,

Reply: Understandable, thanks for the clarification

==they were running on sv160 training routes spotted last week. Spotted 1715C 1716A off service at kranji after doing a few trips and down route. All these buses are out of sv16 as per spotting. 5027S and others are spotted on sv16. It is a mutual swap

Addon:

According to some of my friend's spottings, 1703L was still spotted on 16 as of yesterday & a few days before. As for 1704J, it was reported on 16 this morning, with no evidence suggesting it would be a future 160 perm eg SPAD stickers, paperwork etc. As far as I know all 160 perms would have SPAD sticker (or at least the indication of pending SPAD registration) by now since the reopening of the border is already confirmed. 1722G was spotted on 160 today with SPAD which was why I thought it might be 1722G instead of 1704J which went to 160. If you would like to dispute the perm status feel free to undo my edits & we can discuss a bit further, but just to summarize I highly doubt 1704J is going to 160, so it might be better to put it SP also just like what you edited for 1703L.

my reply

As for 1703L and 1704J I would think of it as spare, given the spottings as mentioned is yesterday and the day before, sv16 buses on fridays and the weekends are not fixed as many of its usual perms will not appear and other buses will cameo on the service. The buses that are fixed for now are the euro 6 ones, they seem to be the backup buses registered for spad. Just in the old days the euro IV spad 8045U 8049J 8053X 8062U, they only will be pulled to 170/160 as needed or in the weekend. Hope this clears the doubts. Best regards, neon

UPDEP Redeployments

Dear Neon,

Can you update the former redeployments properly? So far you have only edited the bus model and the service deployment page but not edited the former deployments page.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
