So the old services before 1995 there should be 62, 86, 97, 111, 132, 151, 321, 322, 323, 326, 327, 328, 329.

Demo buses served there: Volvo B10MD double decker, Volvo B10M Superlong bus, SBS997A.

Add in 51, 85 (loop at Lor 3 Geylang) and Air-Con 118 (loop at Tomlinson Rd).

ya. in fact vo2x-es appeared in almost all the services (321,322,326,327,328). esp when u are on the upp deck and the BC chiong along hougang ave 7, u can really feel the "breeze"

I thought vo2x only appeared on service 321/322?

As i remember.. Service 321(current 113/113A) had the highest demand of all. always alot of people queueing up at the berth of service 321. The vox3s serving service 321 were also mounting the kerbs at hougang st 11. commuters were always queueing up for 321 , the queue nvr ends..

Wasn't service 321 NAC then?

Nope, VO2x appeared in almost all the feeders (except 323 and 329). I witnessed them before, since I stayed in Hougang since 1985 ^^

Think there is a typo error since 321 did not have any VO3x. I guess should be VO2x bah. Anyway 321 was partially AC then.

ok. my mistake. vo2x dds then. often got confused between vo3x and vo2x LOL.
Since vo2x were almost on every service as SBST dumps them on buses.

As the phrase goes,
dumping vo2x is easy, but getting rid of them is hard.
That explains why the last vo2x on a few services were finally scrapped after a few years =)

I believe SBST has learnt a valuable lesson. Not to buy too many buses at once, now they are instead, putting new buses on test before officially purchasing them Very Happy
