Wow tats cool man....No wonder last time wen i went to AMK Int wen i was small,i rmb seeing a bit of MK2s at AMK Int....

136 and 261 were among the AMK services which had NAC Volvo MK2 perms for a short period of time.

If I recall correctly, 25 was the 1st to have MK3 perm in AMK, but not sure whether from AMDEP or not. Subsequently 25 also got LO3X, where at that time should be the 1st service which doesn't passby city area but got perm Superbus.

Cheers.

Both services 25 and 26 were under HGDEP in the past if I am not wrong. Remembered these 2 services with 0305s followed by the introduction of Volvo MK3s when converted to PAC.

And I also remembered Volvo MK4 DM on service 26 too in 1995-97. Can't recall when services 25 and 26 went under AMDEP.

Btw was service 157 ever under partial BBDEP in the past? Used to see some Volvo MK3s running on service 157 for a few months only when it was converted to PAC.

Looks nice-they maintained it quite well

Description of the buses at the website:

First out and already moved is VS 243.She Looks well.These are Volvo B57 machines built in New Zealand by New Zealand Motor Bodies and run in Singapore for many years prior to coming to Ireland.

1. February 27, 2004. VS 243 has been collected and is in Ballinlough. This vehicle is one of the better VS and as can be seen from the photographs looks super. All of these were originally built by New Zealand Motor Bodies on Volvo B57 chassis and went to Singapore for service. Bus Eireann bought them from Singapore and over 300 have ended up in Ireland.

They are wickedly noisy beasts, desperate things to drive and you need ear muffs. However they are fully automatic and while the steering claims to be power steering any resemblance is generally coincidental.

Oh, these are great pictures of the mighty old Volvo B57s. Thanks for sharing.

sbs old bus Berliet PGK205 in the 70 and early 80 it use to appear on some toa payoh feeder bus service 232, 231 and 235 also sometime on 152,143,148 and 153 in the early 80s for 2 years before it scrapped. There is one automatic one appeared on 235 and 145 and a wide door one appeared on 143 before. It a very noisy bus. I think service 20 withdraw in the late 70 and most Berliet PGK205 put on toa payoh bus serivces before they retired.
