Boon Lay Gardens ones after the Jurong Int opened became Scheme B Svs.. 247A, 249A, 251A as far as I do know abt it.
Some bites from the past. Remember these once-common buses in Singapore during the 1930s? Sources : Wikipedia, ebay & wordpress blogs. Running within the now-CBD area.
I remember took these buses in the 1930s.

I esp like your photo showing a row of old SBS Leyland double-deckers. I'm very fascinated to see a double-decker on svc 169 back-then!
The most noisiest buses that I ever remembered in SBS fleet in the 80s, especially when u are seated in front.
Albion Viking is my most favourite bus back-then. I loved the engine sound as its filled with a great character and vibrance of the bus. And my primary school bus operator actually bought 1 of these buses as second hand from SBS! And that was my favourite bus! - CB3664T.

The gear is a long L-shaped one, located above the big gear box next to the driver's seat. Later, they are converted to auto-gear.
You're so lucky to take both Leyland Leopard and Leyland National..
Agree! You look very nice

Leyland olympian (non a/c)
Scania (non a/c). Not sure if it is SBS's first ever scania model?
Merc o405 (non a/c)
I missed SBS on the old 175 route.
Think SBS used Albion Vikings before switching to O405s.
