Volvo B10TL's on feeder services

I miss old annoucements SG

haha some of the bus fans have never had a chance to ride those. i put LO3x at least they may have an experience. i remember a BC telling me that he missed the O305s alot. even wanna bring it home.

I may have rided it once or twice on Service 28 or 31 when I was below 6 years old.

i love those.. lots in serangoon int last time. they were horribly noisy just like the Leyland atlanteans, but they were nice to ride.

I remember clearly their W3E gearbox had 1 second of silence between gear shifts...

e.g. From 1st gear: Roar~ (silence) [switch gear] Roar~ (repeat)

Do remember that the O305's were NAC buses.

yes, that 1 second of silence was heaven.. after that it was rattling and, well, all those hub reduction axle sounds again. haha. atlanteans sounded like this too. the manual gearbox.. i liked it. to me, those atlantean wheels look nicer than alcoa rims.

The O.305s has a non-electronic gearbox W3D 080R

The O.405s were the ones to get an electronic gearbox W3E 110/2.2R

Just get a Merc O.405 driver to use kickdown and you will get the same thing.

Ah but the sounds of the gearbox is more clearly heard with an NAC bus. =D

I notice that the plug doors of some Volvo B10TL's exit plug doors are not in very good condition. I boarded SBS9813M today and when it was time for the exit plug doors to open, the right door opened first and the left door opened a second later. I believe plug doors are to open and close together. When the doors of SBS9813M was closing, at least both doors closed together. On a side note, the doors closing chime for SBS9813M was of a different pitch from SBS9820S but it still sounded nice.

Seriously, they cant be closing together. If they close together, something is very wrong. No matter how it is close of open, there will be a lag time. It only depends on how long the lag time is for the other side of the door to respond.

The next time u take a Habit / Volgren bendy / Trident / VSO / B10BLE / B9TL / L94UB / K230s. Take a closer look.
