From what I know :
The MkII Volvos does not have that many surviving all the 17 years.
The Mercedes 04O5, I don't remember all the bus surving all the 17 years since 1 of them ic converted to MILK bus.

Your facts are wrong, really wrong. Most of the Mk IIs were extended to 19 years, only the first 5 (1696-1700), and the special purpose buses (RGS Computer bus (1793) and NHB Story bus (1867)) and of course the fire damaged 1824 dint get the 2 years lifespan extension.
.
None of the O.405s became the MILK bus. And although not all of them got the 2 year extension, at least 500 odd of them survived..
.
For the record, all models of buses of sizeable numbers since the LO2x at least had lifespan extensions. The LO2x had the longest extension of all the buses, 3 to 4 years, which extended their lifespan from 15 to 18 or 19 years..

long time never saw CSS194M, CSS196H, CSS204T on training anyone know wad happen?

963S108 can only be done by a single bus, Not 2 buses. If 808U does 963S108 in morning, The morning slot counts over the afternoon slot, Not both. eg if 963S108 is done by 808U, The morning one counts.

TIB 585L SG

Is 727U and 728S a SP? still see it at 969 recently

SBS8032G SG

Is SBS7337J and SBS7338G perm on Service 291 as reflected in sgwiki? Both buses seen on Service 291 today with SBS7320G.

SBS2601D SG

You are wrong again.

Very wrong. The MKIIs are every bit as good as the MKIII. Please refer to Scania's post.

In fact, amongst these contemporaries, the Scania N113 probably has the worst depreciation record.

150K,154A,155Y perm 167?

I think those 3 models (MkIIs, Scanias and O.405s) were the best SBS had. Nowadays, its quite hard to find such nice buses on the market anymore.

SBS2601D SG

The B10Ms across the board, are my favourite as I look back now.

Not the least because its impossible to remove seats from these buses for standees.

Someone actually proposed removing every single seat for some buses at ST forum. Just imagine that!

The 0405s and N113s had really short gears. Taking an 0405 on 161 down TPE would have guaranteed you a sore ear if you were seated at the back.

Still, good buses they all were.

Sometimes I laugh at what some people call 'good buses', because the best fleet combination SBS ever had, was 15 years ago. Atlanteans, O.305s, LO2x, Mk IIs, Scanias, O.405s, quite new LO3xes and brand new VOs. The new single decks of that time (basically Mk 4s) were disappointing however, as they had the opportunity to go wheelchair accessible then if they bought any of the low floor chassis then.

SBS2601D SG

Ok la....I was never really impressed by the NAC leylands and the 0305s.....and the latter was really noisy...on a comparable scale with the VSO and particularly hot on hot days compared to say.....a VO2X.

The Leylands offered better performance than the VO3X, but comfort-wise I would pick the VO3X. But there's no denying the excitment I felt as a kid in 1993 when the LO arrived. It was so modern compared to the other DDs! Things got even better when the VOs arrived. Who can forget the Superbus logo??

And when the MKIII arrived, I still remember being over the moon with having so many AC buses to choose from. And then the MKIVs came and I loved their all white and red front as opposed to the black (fake or real) radiator grilles.

SBS2601D SG

Things started to go pear-shape though in the early and mid 2000s.

Many MKIIIs and LO3X offered some of the best micro-waving services you could ask for.

SBS 9631X SG

7338G is definitely not on 291 everyday. It was on 12 a couple of days back. But 291 did have a timetable change on 12 March (this past Monday), and it seems like the number of WAB trips increased? Someone please check it out thanks.

TownLink 291 SG

Yep.
