d143b2 SG

SBST

300 Batch 1 Citaros (60xx,61xx and 62xx)

450 Batch 2 Citaros (63xx, 64xx, 65xx and part of 66xx)

550 Batch 3 Wrights (33xx,34xx,35xx,36xx and part of 37xx) unless there are non BSEP Wrights

Gus.chong SG

Now that the Citaros are filling up the current 61xx-62xx-63xx series, would future non-Citaro rigids fill up the 66xx-69xx series?

Because I find it's confusing when the 7xxx series consists of the VO2x-es, B9TL CDGEs, and the B9TL Wrights, and the 9xxx series consists of the LO3x-es, VO3x-es, Tridents and B10TLs.

By the way for the future 550 Wrights, it is likely 269 of them will take up SBS7730J to SBS7887M and SBS7889H to SBS7999Z, then the remaining 281 Wrights will take up somewhere right after 3300-series (It is not convenient for me to shout out the regos because someone may be unhappy).

MoltenFalcon SG

That's true, although there are 30 vacancies after SBS3269Z. Factoring in the de-registration of buses by the end of 2014, not factoring in extensions, SBST would have 1-1999, 2000-2887, 2889-2987, 3552-3999, 4000-4999, 6750-6999, 7000-7299, 9000-9400, 9691-9799, 9840-9887 and 9890-9999 free.

That's 2000+888+99+448+1000+250+300+401+109+48+110 = 5653 vacancies, meaning SBST would have a fleet of 4346.

What I believe is that both the batch 2 and 3 Wrights will use up these regos:

SBS7700T - SBS7887M
SBS7889H - SBS7999Z
SBS3000G - SBS3550K

SBS2656X SG

WHAZZUP DUDES

TIB987K SG

Morning.

SBS2656X SG

So quiet in here...

Hello TIB987K!!

SBS8501U SG

What I believe is that both the batch 2 and 3 Wrights will use up these regos:

SBS7700T - SBS7887M
SBS7889H - SBS7999Z
SBS3000G - SBS3550K

I think they will continue using the 3XXX series, dun think they will jump back to the 7XXX series for now.

SBS2656X SG

I think they will continue using the 3XXX series, dun think they will jump back to the 7XXX series for now.

There is still 34XX - 39XX to use

Gus.chong SG

I think they will continue using the 3XXX series, dun think they will jump back to the 7XXX series for now.

It wasn't feasible to use re-registered regos that has been used once before and de-registered a few years ago. So I still think due to constraints they will still use 7000-series.

Depends, but remember the Fargo Kew KS600? It was introduced into SBST in 1972 and they used the 5XXX series, the exact same rego as the current Batch 2 Euro V KUBs. Meaning to say they did actually reused the rego for the 5XXX series 17 years later, which I agree is out of no choice since SBST is only limited to 9999 regos maximum. On the other hand, I am just thinking that once the 3XXX series has started, SBST will keep on using all the way, and I do think that still remains a possibility.

SBS2656X SG

Now I know TIBS have 10000 rego - Including TIB0000S
