old Singapore public buses

In_Between_Days SG

The 1st pic, (between the 3 parked Volvo B57s and the Leyland Olympian), shows an old SBS bus model making a right turn, does anyone know wat model it is?

The 2nd pic shows the back of the bus model if i'm not wrong, (the 2 buses parked between the Soon Chow bodied bus and the Scanias)

I remember seeing this bus model when i was younger, but i rarely see it anywhere on the net...let alone being mentioned about...anyone know where i can see more pics of it?

These pics were taken @ the old toa payoh interchange btw...

Thx for the info...

I remember seeing this bus back in the late 80s and early 90s...nvr had a chance to take it though

Service 56 used to run on this model rite? Cos i remember seeing a few of these buses @ Bishan interchange in those days...

I can't remember if 56 did, but it's predecesor - 58 to Marina Centre - definitely did use these buses.

The Victory is definitely a wonderful bus and the air-conditioned Victories are still my favourite single deck aircon buses. Super comfortable and super powerful especially since the aircon compressor was driven by a seperate engine.

Anyway , Services that used to terminated at Jln Kayu Terminal is : 59 , 103 , 214E , 214W (become 820 and 821 , 378 and 379) , 163

I remember taking this bus on 149, it is one hell of a noisy bus. Almost went deaf !

2) Nope , could it be the Renault PR100.2? SBS30P

3) Yup , SBS7000E , Scania BR112DH , the only Scania Non-Aircon DD in SBS

umm number 2) ur answer is far far. renault is french bus. its engine is renault engine not even DAF engine. (<-------big hint)

carbikebus also ur answer wrong .

as for question1, the person who mention the oldest bus fitted with Voith will of course get credit . i dun even know myself which bus earliest fitted with voith. but is optimal that the answer be a 1984 or before kind of model bus of SBS. dun go mark 3. then again if only one peep answer mark 3 he will get the correct answer . lol
