In Jan 2015, a Peak Period Short Service variant of this route, 265P, was introduced. It duplicates Service 265’s route from Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange to Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange, via Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 and operates during weekday peak hours only. The service was renumbered to Short Trip Service 265A from 06 Jan 2017 as part of the Changes to Peak Period Short Services. Later in March 2018, 265A was replaced with additional trips on Service 265 and withdrawn.
The Townlink branding for Service 265 was dropped in August 2018.
