How many NWAB bendies will be on the road after the current de-registration of NWAB bendies?

Until end year i think only less than 199

I still remember the Dennis Dart fleets that SBS bought in 1994 followed by the Lances that Tibs bought in 1998/2000... All gets early layup and scrapped way before reaching their 17 years lifespan.

Tridents should be the same too, I even notice that 64 and 89 removed all their Tridents out already and replace with newer Wrights. The Tridents seems to be running around HGDEP services as unwanted spares now.

I hope that 163 gets a perm Wright to replace SBS9669M.

As much as I hate to say this, Dennis buses can't last..

But again, Dennis buses are made to overcome various terrains so if they dont make the bus more sturdy than the rest obv the bus will wear and tear faster..

but TT enviros are really very quiet. saw an enviro on 97 last night, departure from bus stop was not as loud as SMRT enviros

That's why ive said,Need professional in this and furthermore TTS & GAS is leasing buses from LTA and there is protocol and regulations to be followed.Even GAS maintained most of their fleets well..They even scrub and wash all the brake dust off their bus rims every week..

Sbs6750E SG

The GA 33xx WEGs are much quieter also.

Yeah,Numerous time send to workshop..

I don't like the B1 B9TL because of the wing mirrors which cannot auto adjust,The deceiving two-piece mirror!

SBS9676S should be more or less gone case in HGDEP already based on someone posted in the other thread.

For sure SLBP will be 100% WAB fleet by this year end, HGDEP will be next once all the Tridents are taken out from revenue service.

SBS8676Z SG

9669 not on 163 for some time already

Likelihood that HGDEP may not keep this solo VO3X till this Dec, once 9652 and 9658 goes off this month end.

SMB315C SG

1056R 1061A 1062Y 1070Z 1118X more or less gone..

SMB315C SG

It's universally true yknow, the tridents in London and HK didn't age well too

In fact the tridents in CTB pulled out earlier than the VOs..

Dennis buses are great machines with performance that no other bus maker, besides MAN and Neoplan, can even come close to. Volvo buses stand in shame next to them, esp comparing VSO with tridents.

However, when playing the game of time, Dennis buses will find it hard to win.

SMB128B SG

GAS does their maintenance damn well lor.. just look at their B9s. What were roaring and jerking buses under the bloody SBST became tamed angels under GAS.

Case in point. When GAS took in the 33xx series they were so bloody TORN. Now it feels like the equivalent of SBST buses which has just reached a year old (The oldest of the 33xx are already 5 years old)

A22 fan SG

The first batch of B9TLs bsep 33xx ones undergo thru 3 operators in the progress

SBST > TTS > GAS.

I guess there is going to be mass spams of lay ups of Habits in the next few months for the December batches onwards...

as can be seen, the Euro VI emission standard comes into effect on 1st Jan 2018, so all the remaining Euro V DDs have to be registered by the end of 2017 (some may be laid up first depending on whether bodywork had been completed on chassis itself)
