Maybe these Darts went MIA-ing at depot? My first dart ride was on 92 (SBS8013L) and it was soooo hard to catch it. I later found out that only that Dart was operating 92 for that day, rest were all DM3500/MK3s :S

lifelikedrama SG

tried 42?

How long did you wait for your Dennis Dart? I know 92 has a very unusual frequency... I take that bus regularly

Just checked out one motoring that 4 Dennis Darts from BBDEP are being laid-up...

SBS8010U Non-User Lay-Up Status till 07 Nov 2010
SBS8011S Non-User Lay-Up Status till 10 Dec 2010
SBS8014J Non-User Lay-Up Status till 17 Nov 2010
SBS8017B Non-User Lay-Up Status till 24 Dec 2010

Passed by BBDEP yesterday and saw some Dennis Darts inside with engine cover removed.

Hopefully this will answer the TS' question. Perhaps the mods can rename this thread to "Lay-up and redeployment of SBST Dennis Darts"

I still saw one off service on 92 towards BBDEP on Tue.

Cheers.

Huh, all are 92 buses. Sad.

Likely to be SBS8013L. That's the sole survivor in BBDEP as of now...

azharjj SG

so with Dennis dart's lay-up, i wonder how's service 92 fleet looks like

As mentioned earlier, 92 would be full of DM3500s & MK3s. I think by now the darts should go already, since the 'batch 1' of darts (introduced in 1993) had already reached its 17 years of its life with SBST. So fast isnt it?

A.T.R SG

kk thnks

SMB32T SG

The 10 fleets of Dennis Darts came into service in 1994 specially deployed to services M1 and M2 (now services 92 and 42 respectively) to replace the Nissan civilians. If I am not wrong they are only 15 years then put to lay-up already. Volvo MK3s in fact are the older buses that have reached 17 years of lifepan.

Another case of buses that gets laid-up early other than the SMRT's ELBO CAC Scanias
