You underestimate the KUBs....151's KUBs climb the hills at NUS
pretty well. But IMO, the eye-opener must be the B9TL. The B9TL
climbs faster than say....the MKIIIs and the MKIV DMs. In fact, its
the MKIV DMs (the ZF ones) that struggle more than the MKIIIs. The
Voith MKIV DMs are marginally faster than the MKIIIs.
The one I cannot trust to climb these hills would be the VOs.
Fortunately none has passed through that area....yet. At least as
far as I know.
IMO, the one that has the least difficulty for the NUS services
would be the MKIV DM3500.....really no sweat.
at NUS, it's ok
at benjamin sheares bridge where sv36 passes, there is a
