Way back in 1989-1990 when SBS bought in the 200 Scania
N113CRBs (150 NAC and 50 OAC), they were meant to replace all the
noisy Albion Vikings that were based in BNDEP as well as the
Leyland Victories based in TPDEP (now BRBP).
Those days in 1991 the NAC N113CRBs did trunk services like
12, 14, 16, 27, 32, 56, 122, 123, 124, 131, 142, 145, 155, 390
(just to name some which I can remember). And the OAC ones did
services like 3, 390 etc; after which it did services like 19, 21,
28 which were newly introduced somewhere in 1994-1995, and also did
service 29 which was converted FAC in 1995.
And in 1993-1995 when the Volvo B57s were in the midst of
phasing out, the NAC N113CRBs were transferred to feeder services
mainly in Toa Payoh, Bishan, Bedok, Tampines and Pasir Ris areas.
Service 400 which plies between Shenton Way to Marina Mall also had
NAC N113CRBs too somewhere in 1994.
Remembered in my secondary school days when service 410's Volvo
B57s were replaced with N113CRBs, cool
.
Now that the 3rd generation Scania K230UB euro 4s and 5s are now
coming in, well, it's time that the N113CRBs says goodbye. Do all
the N113CRBs rest in peace
