The B9TLs seem to be having mainteinance issues.....hmmmm, if you compare it to say......the B10TL.Of course both are very different buses, so can't really c...

Guys, think the batch of VO3x Batch 1s that are due to be scrapped in Jan 2014 & haven't gotten the 6-month extension are getting an extension in the next few weeks.

I've spotted 9309C (BN 9) & 9312S (BN 6) this week with new repainted liveries alr. Makes no sense if SBST is gonna scrap them 2 months later & still repaint them.

SBS7238L to SBS7241B had been officially de-registered on 11 October 2013.

What about the November 2013 batches? I thought some of them will be extended by now.

What about the November 2013 batches? I thought some of them will be extended by now.

It's either:
1) those in the Nov 2013 batch are all too cui and CMI alr, or
2) they are intending of extending the 3 batches of Nov, Dec & Jan VO3x Batch 1s together at one go.. (like how they did back then with the Mk4 Striders)

I'm guessing it's more likely 2), given how SLBP has been trying to hold onto its current fleet of VO3x Batch 1s for as long as they can while seemingly waiting for more Wrights to come.. The extension should be around the corner for any of those going to be extended bah.

All the Best! SG

Maybe they want giv it a farewell?

I mean I thought the November batches will be extended around this month as the some buses from the previous three batches (August to October) were extended one month before their de-registration date. But never mind, it will be a great shock about the buses getting extensions in November across three straight batches.

There should be replacements for 9270 9271 9278 9279 serving on JIS services...but there don't seem to be a need for those spares...Not an efficient usage of resources.

All the Best! SG

Good bye to the Volvo Olympians

Last week I happen to see 7246 at an unknown scrapyard awaiting scrap when I passed through on 925, almost thought why is there a VO2X at SMRT KJDEP.

Do you think they are those Volvo Olympians from the December batches onwards that are awaiting de-registrations?

On a side note, who can identify those Volvo Olympians that have been missing from the roads for a long time except those NACs and confirmed not to be given extensions?
