I agree.
I don't know much about chassis building, but if the engine,
wheel suspensions/axles are not affected at all, then remodeling of
the chassis would not be impossible. Remembered how the new K230UBs
were delievered initially in form of customisable chassis. SBST can
saw off the affected parts of the chassis, rebuild a new one, and
rebuild the body. Sounds rather complex, so it is up to SBST
whether they want to foo the bill. Anyway, the B9TL is still in
production in Volvo and thus finding spare parts shouldn't be a
problem. And the B9TL is only 2 years old.
However for the older buses, I think most likely they will be
scrapped, especially those nearing their lifespan. As for those
with their engines intact: there are 2 possiblities, 1. Scrapped,
and their engines are used as spares, 2 rebuilding of bus
body which will have a very long laid up status.
Could be longer than TIB1105H.
