With
about less than a month left, ON21080 aka SBS9168S - the last
Leyland bus chassis ever built prepares to depart Boon Lay
Interchange on service 154.
This bus is now in fresh corporate colours with its previous
advertisement removed just recently, and is expected to be in this
state until the end of lifespan.
SBS9168S will reach the end of its 19 years extended lifespan on 22
Mar 2013.
The last
Leyland Olympian chassis ever built - ON21080 (SBS9168S) will
likely have 3 routes after its lifespan ends on 22nd March
2013
1) Preservation by an overseas bus preservation society (or
something similar)
2) Semi-preserved locally like the National Youth
Council's "The Red
Bus" Leyland Olympian 2 axles which was converted into an office
building (as it was the first unit to be brought into service (?)),
or that ex SBS Volvo Olympian 2 axles in Temasek Junior College
converted into a lounge.
3) The meeting of its end by being scrapped.
