  Woo the new SMRT bus is out. I wonder why they registered as SMB lol.

  Fantastic!  I'm looking forward to hearing about them.

  I personally think that it is stupid that you can't take photographs within a designated bus station.  Photographing a vehicle from a publicly-accessible area (even if that vehicle is within a restricted area) is not illegal in Australia.

  Sorry guys...

  The timing posted by TIB1018B is given by me as I am on duty just now.

  Last minute change...KJ starter withdrew the SMB1H from this duty and replaced it with a normal Habit bendy...so once again sorry to disappoint you guys.

  As for Monday, this bus is deployed to AM/PM duty as follows, HOPEFULLY this time KJ starter don't do any last minute change:

   

  0633 dep cck 0725 arr cck (supplement to svc 307 1 full trip)

  0739 deadhead to Blk 604 Bt Panjang Rd

  0749 dep Blk 604 0842 arr nbr

  0854 dep nbr 0955 arr cck (mealbreak)

  1018 dep cck 1124 arr nbr

  1134 dep nbr 1238 arr cck

  1250 dep cck 1356 arr nbr (SL Change shift)

  1405 dep nbr 1509 arr cck

  1517 dep cck 1624 arr nbr

  1632 dep nbr 1742 arr cck (mealbreak)

  1806 dep cck 1913 arr nbr

  1926 dep nbr 2035 arr cck

  2044 off svc to nbr

  2127 dep nbr 2230 arr cck (return to kjdep)

   

  Btw, I am a staff member of SMRT buses...I just give you guys the timing so you guys have fun bus spotting.  I am not obliged to post the duty number on the forum.

  But, a reminder from me, no photography at cck or nbr terminals. Thanks for your cooperation!

  Guys...

  Note that this duty will cameo svc 307 at 0633hrs in the morning...so this bus will make heads turn at the CCK North and Teck Whye neighbourhoods.

  Bus spotters, if you have a chance, snap a photo of SMB1H cameo-ing svc 307...but once again a gentle reminder, no photography at cck interchange...thank you!

  I wanted to inform TIB1018B of the last minute withdrawal of deployment of SMB1H today (sunday) to post on the forum, earlier on during my duty but my HP battery went dead...so I am unable to inform u guys immediately.

  I sincerely apologize for the delay.  I post this thread the first thing I arrived home...If I had disappointed you guys, sorry once again!

  If anyone out there has contact numbers of bus spotters, pls sms each other of the last minute withdrawal so that they don't make a wasted trip to cck or nbr.

  Thanx for your kind understanding...

  Thanks...help to spread the word around...if you have contacts of fellow bus fans sms around.

  I certainly don't want you bus fans to end up disappointed not being able to catch a glimpse or take a ride on the new bus.

  No worries. Most bus fans have been informed. I just sent out wakey wakey SMSes to most bus fans. They will, as common sense would show, forward the message around.
