last time when I was working at Loyang, I have to bear with the
stuffy svc 6 which runs on non-air con single deck. Have they
finally converted them to ac ones?
They shld also convert those double-deck non ac ones as
well…
Only 2 out of 5 fleets for service 6 are AC fleets (1 DD VO3x and 1
SD MK3). By 8 dec all of service 6's fleets should be FAC. Most
probably those spare Volvo MK4s from BNDEP will be depolyed over to
replace the existing NAC fleet.
For the NAC DDs to be converted to AC, hmm... It's not as simple
as what you think. As you notice carefully, AC DDs have 3 axles
whereas NAC ones only has 2. And in order to convert to AC, cooling
systems are needed to install on the base, which will take up
additional weight. As such a lot of modifications are required
which can be very costly.
