854 already doing the same replacing bendies with A95.
I think 981 got one A95.
Since under LTA More buses better rides
the a95 on 981 has been kicked out ever since 3608M returned
Btw, any news for DDs for 811 & 812?
Originally posted by hgdep103:851 not clear for DD, got 1 part in Henderson not DD accessible
Which part? Henderson already have 132 and 145 plying. Tiong Bahru road already has 64 and 5 plying.
So not sure there is a clearance issue for DDs.

811 & 812 have DD route testing already, but am really not sure if they going to debut DDs on 811 and 812

From the discussions above, it should be the left turn from Tiong Bahru Rd to Henderson Rd.... 851 is indeed the only service there.

Yeah,I just realise,No wonder no DDs.
Originally posted by Sbs6750E:Sharp turn? DDs also ply roundabout mah.
So yes, trees should be the culprit.
You must take note that three axles vehicles turning radius isn't as sharp as two axles.

It is all speculation. It is a left turn from one big road to another, it is definitely not a sharp turn.
Also if there are trees on the turn, of course they can prune the trees. They did it for Henderson Road just to ply 3 DDs on 176 first and then 3 DDs were introduced on 145.
Likewise they did tree pruning in many areas.
851 for them is just not priority and hence they have not done anything and we are just speculating, it is the left turn.

in fact, was told 851 has only 1 bendy left

no wonder keep saw 3132 3133 3134 3135 3138 3139 3140 on 851.. seldom see bendies liao..

From what I see from Google Map, it is the tree that is obstructing it.. Svc 132 & 145 is turning right from Tiong Bahru Road to Henderson Road have no issue as the tree isn't at its way but as for Svc 851, the tree is quite near hence I believe it is the root cause.
However, if Svc 851 wants to hv DDs, like mentioned, they can prune the tree...
think there might be fleet add for Sv76 wef today?
2 SDs (1083 and 6889) spotted this morning..

1113J and 1220H on 854 today.
Anyone else saw any supposedly 851 bendies on 851 or anywhere else?
SMRT totally messed up 851.
It forced long distance commuters on 851 to move to MRT instead because most times you won't get a seat on 851.
Now that there are so many DDs coming in, SMRT has bendies to offer 851, yet it won't and will force people to inconvenience.
This overall has reduced the loading on 851 over the years.

Under GCM, allocation of type of buses is NOT decided by the operators, but by LTA.

I notice that 854 is still spamming several ex-851 old bendies today, even though there are 5 A95s spotted. Still a very long way for 854 WAB improvement.
Those old bendies should just throw back to 851.

If I am not wrong, 16 also makes a turn there.

SMRT should seriously concentrate on how to improve 854 WAB fleet with more DDs first, before they can think of deploying DDs on 811 812.
Also since 811 812 may go to new operators under Seletar package soon, let the new operators do it.

I thought u said last time that 851 route cleared for DDs and BCs already trained?
Originally posted by hgdep103:in fact, was told 851 has only 1 bendy left
not 1. but reduced from around 6 to 4

1220H out of 851 long ago
last week 851 bendies all ran away to other svcs but cos H1 maybe things will change this week

They're trained but i nvr say they train DD on 851 route mah.Doesnt mean you learn DD must follow your service route what
