HOT! Listen to Jason Ling's Music now!
U guys know will there be a chance for all the 859 drivers like 1171R and 1241Y will come back to drive 859 again? I prefer the previous drivers compared to the current ones now.... It is so messy now. Buses are never on time, furthermore, today the 859 7pm BC, the way he drove, the passengers almost fell down esp those who were standing. I wished everything will revert back like b4.

No chance.
A few of the former 859 SLs have quitted, others became standby. Surprisingly, none of them drove either 190 or 106??
That's wierd.
u know the driver who used to drive 490B?

This is crazy... 2 SP Bendies to KJDEP OMG...BTW I know some of you have heard of a few more service transfers (i.e. 2 BP Feeders to KJDEP & 2 Yishun Intratowns to WLDEP). As of today the transfer has not taken place, may be taking over next week. I happened to ask my BC friend on 812 today and he replied that there was no news of any transfer.
BUT, if the transfer takes place, there are 2 possible scenarios for AMDEP/WLDEP:
1) All buses inclusive drivers shift to WLDEP (811/812)
2) 811/812 gets handed over to WLDEP, 856 and 857 drivers will drive them. Existing 811 and 812 drivers will drive 856 and 857 (i.e. 856 and 857 will be handed to AMDEP).Discussions are still on-going between the managements in AMDEP and WLDEP but I'll update next week again.
Almost 100% confirmed:
TIB 1171R TIB 1241Y
(AMDEP 106 AMDEP SP)1018B, check your mailbox. =)

Yes there are two ex-859 SLs who are driving 106 now. Bachok the malay SL with the goatee and the Chinese plump sized SL. As for the latter, he drives 190 at times

So far, this is the only transfer.
The rumour of Yishun intratown 811 & 812 to WLDEP and 856 & 857 to AMDEP is unfounded so far. It will still remain as such...
Probably more transfers will be done after the new buses are being put into service, since from the look of it, SMRT's AMDEP has cleared up spaces for the new buses. I believe by then the depot should have buses to support more services, taking service 856 or 857 for example.
I believe Woodlands Depot should be very very very choked up by now...
And if those two are to be moved, I think they could also be potential candidates for the new buses.

According to the driver(s) I asked, they replied that if the transfer takes place, drivers stay while all respective perms head over to the new depot of control. So accordingly AMDEP should be looking for more parking space and more drivers instead of more buses to support them?
Correct me if I'm wrong. ^^

bpj int 2 b kjdep land...
find it ridiculous 2 hav ysh feeders under wldep...857 under amdep still make sense...
Checked with the thread for 23rd March redeployment.
12 Buses left AMDEP, while AMDEP took in 2. That's 10 out.
But in January, WLDEP sent 10 buses over as perms for 961. Overall = No buses cleared out.
For 22nd June redeployment:
2 Bendies left AMDEP, AMDEP took in 2. 4 Lances left for WLDEP, 4 Merc came in from KJDEP. Overall still no buses cleared out.
I highly doubt that they did clear any space at all...

The ex 859 YIDEP SL who drove 490B (AM xover to 981) is now driving svc 854, still a split shift SL. His name is Yong Yin Chund
As for the 1171R SL who drove 859 before, which one you are referring to? Does he wear glasses? If yes, he is on 106 now. Total of 3 ex 859 SL now on 106

The 1171R SL does not wear specs, i think he does morning shift when he drove 859. He is driving 190?
