Today is the last day for all these Volvo MK3 buses.

Today is the last day for all these Volvo MK3 buses.

But they are likely to get their lifespan extension tomorrow.

Looks like HGDEP and BNDEP are lagging on extending their lifespan whereas BBDEP had done that earlier on.

TIB657M SG

Most of the 7** to 8** series JB-registered MK3s have refurbished with shiny flooring. Not sure about 818J, 828E, 829C, 871D and 877M though.

693B is still on 32 today. hope there is an extension. it's now at old airport to BNV.

SBS8032G SG

Today is the last day for all these Volvo MK3 buses.

I doubt they will get extended except for SBS693B.

According to Nov's Redeployments:

SBS894M
(HGDEP SP) (HGDEP 103)

SBS674G
(HGDEP 103) (HGDEP SP)

SBS895K
(HGDEP SP) (HGDEP 315)

SBS897E
(HGDEP SP) (HGDEP 315/317)

SBS678X SBS682H
(HGDEP 315 or 315/317 HGDEP SP)

After that they seemed to be MIA already.. Should be Awaiting De-registration..

Stage SG

Usually how long after a bus gets de-registered does it go to the scrapyard?

Like if de-reg on 23/12, when will it be brought into the scrapyard?

Between 2-3 weeks time after de-registration, just like the scania n113s.

Need to dismantle all the good usable spare parts while the bus in the depot mah be4 totally sent away to scrapyard.This will take abt a few days,then once they finished taking out everything they wanted to,then sent away to scrapyard alr.

SBS7382C SG

so the bus goes as an empty shell?

23 Dec 2009 marks the first day a Volvo Mk3 is deregistered

One of the rare cases where all buses survived the initial 17 years.
