sBs_boy SG Thats because SBST had requested that parts of the bodywork to be built to their specifications. Looking the same doesnt mean they are the same. e.g. Can i say a Mk4 Strider and a DM3500 is from the same company ? since they have so much things in common. THINK about it.
SBS351M SG Eh, not my fault lor. cos i got call at home, then walk to int, see one bus there, dunno got move or not.
chickenlittle2 SG I only saw this bus displaying "SBS Transit" that day.. Wat I know was the new scania would be deploy to Svc 174..
iveco SG Well, Walter Alexander, Duple Metsec and Dennis Group were restructured under the Mayflower PLC umbrella. That subsequently became Transbus when Mayflower went into administration.
Scania SG Walter Alexander was not related to Mayflower group. It merged with entities of Mayflower group and Plaxton to form Transbus. The Strider and DM3500 bodies were designed and built when Walter Alexander and Mayflower group were separate entities.
tintinspartan SG To add in: The DM3500s and DM5000s are rumoured to be the last DM bodied buses around before it was CLOSED when Transbus was formed when Alexander and Dennis merged.
Scania SG Transbus did produce the DM5000 bodies after merger as there was no low floor Walter Alexander body that has a low bridge version, a right hand drive version and a open top version. The production ceased when the Enviro 500 came out.
nenepokey SG they bell looks lyk those in UK Lance and all buses of Volgren bodywork of SMRT! the very noisy one
