I must say that the NSL and EWL rationalisation, which saw old services like 3, 4, 8, 28, 104, 134, 140, 141, 146, 148, 163 (scaled back), 168 gone among a host of others (let those older bus fans say cos I dunno all) were greater in terms of impact than the NEL one.</p> <p>Also do note that you can start getting seats by the time NEL reaches Kovan, or even Serangoon during PM peak, and for NSL during the same time, forget about it unless you kena a train which is behind a late one.</p> Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:21:22 +0800 support.sgforums.com:1279:323505:8238750 Scania http://support.sgforums.com/forums/1279/topics/323505 <blockquote> <div class="quote_from">Originally posted by tanjun:</div> <div class="quote_body"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Strongly agree with you.
