MAN 18.240 breakdown at Simei Ave

last SG · 2008-11-01T08:32:48+00:00

Anything is nice except for Voith with THD101GD (on Mk3s).Allison would be nice, especially on Fusos, but it gets a bit too draggy on a Brazilian Marco Polo...

I was on it, then it suddenly broke down! Gearbox problem... SBS8031J is now officially temporarily out of service!

What's it doing at Sims Ave?

Nevermind, I rephrase my question. On which service did you take the MAN on?

Lameomaster SG

Paris Ris starter told me the bus just ended trip on 19P at 17:24 but scheduled for immediate washing as the bus was dirty. Replacement bus unknown/00000.

Isn't this the same kind of problem that put SMB 1H out of action when it came out on it's first day?

Well, at least for SBS Transit, it happened to them after a few months of use...

SBS n SMRT SG

Random excuses by Pasir Ris Starter.....same to BC also...one BC play with DDU, when i ake him, he says EZ link card reader got problem for him to retify.

Sad for SBS 8031 J.

actually me so far haven’t seen voith gearbox develop problems before.

Yes, Voith seems to be either associated with being hardy or as Hong Kong folks would put it, easy to climb grades without shifting constantly and able to retain power.

The replacement bus is a MK4 DM 3500

I have....and it had to be a VSO.

One word: Noisy!

The bus could only manage 1st and 2nd.

What else could be worse?

It was 9844Z on 161! Fortunately I did not have to take it on TPE then.

9844? i took it before and it went about 60+ on TPE/SLE. although quite loud.

I think there is one you might be interested to hear. The sound of TIB1024H (I know this is not the sounds thread, but it shows a spoilt Voith that can be mistaken as a thrashed Voith): http://www.mediafire.com/?ufm04mmvamt

and SBS9844Z is actually quite a fine bus, except during the well known incident abt it dropping its wheel in WRI ... ...

^tamago^ SG
