Temporary Route Amendment (2018)
From Sunday, 23 September 2018 for about nine months, Bus Service 135 had been temporarily amended to ply non-stop along East Coast Parkway, Bedok South Avenue 1 and part of Marine Parade Road between the junction with Bedok South Avenue 1 and Siglap Link, due to the temporary partial closure of Siglap Link to facilitate the construction of Siglap MRT Station along the Thomson-East Coast Line.
No bus stops were skipped and no additional bus stops were called by Service 135 during the temporary amendment.

I agree with TIB1000B that double deckers be deployed on services 100 and 135.
After they amended the route why they still never give double deckers to 100 & 135 for now?
