last SG · 2007-10-08T13:34:39+00:00

After 05 April 2008 will be no more Volvo MK2s in Singapore.

xunmengzitu SG

SBS1769K has been de-registered and today is the last day for SBS1800C and SBS1788E. both are former 103 buses

TWS4793 SG

For those who miss the SBS 1781Z to SBS 1800C, here's one chance to send your well wishes to one of the MKIIs in a photograph.

SBS 1784R on Service 182

OT: Don't be surprised if you see a new skin in my gallery. My gallery's changed just recently for Christmas this year.

TWS4793 SG

No. Still got SBS 1864T. Most likely no more NAC for Service 11 by next year after SBS 1864T is gone.

AC buses are starting to come in for Service 11. Currently there's one perm - it's SBS 2698A which will do the crossover to Service 11 during meal time. At other times it's SBS 1864T or any other cameo from HGDEP.

I got a pic of SBS1785 on 103

TIB1018B SG

Still notice several NAC MK2 WAs on service 151 as on 8th November 2007. Most probably service 151 and other HGDEP fleets (inclusively of fully NAC services) become FAC by next year.

PS: Just wondering what will happen to service 191 after the loss of SBS1806L coming 08 Dec 2007??

TIB1018B SG

Normally aircon buses do service 11 only during certain hours, whereas NAC bus do service 11 for the whole day.

sbst275 SG

Cos those on 151 their time is not up yet. Offically the last NAC will leave 151 in April (SBS1893J) Laughing

But as for HGDEP side, if we do not incl 1864, the NAC on 151 would leave by Feb

Sv 191 might prob get other NAC MK2 that are still around Sad

TIB1018B SG

Looks like by June 2008 HGDEP buses will become fully aircon whereas BNDEP will have to put up with the NAC Scanias for another 1/2 year Laughing

BBDEP/ARBP and SLDEP still got the NAC VO2x till 2012.

For AMDEP/BRBP depends on whether the NAC Scanias are still there or kanna transferred out Rolling Eyes

sbst275 SG

The last revenue NAC MK2 at HGDEP will leave passenger service in Mar w/ 1862 & 1864 Laughing It's NAC sisters like 1845Z and 1851E would leave in Feb, just bef CNY

Right now 110 MK2 are offically gone not incl those on lay up status

service_238 SG

I think by the time the next batch of mk2s are gone, bbdep will receive scanias. Just look at WAB aside, if you are talking about fleet replacement its the next best thing they can do.

TIB1018B SG

I think that feeders currently with MK2s will at most get only MK3s or MK4s. Based on experience I don't think SBST will put the new WAB Scanias directly on feeders Wink

tintinspartan SG

Got hunch that those ex-service 100 premers will get redeployed to 103/103W and HG or Sengkang Feeders once SBS could confirm WAB status for Service 100.

sbst275 SG

you might get a shock, the list of services found on the K230UB thread incl 1 feeder and PAC status sv Laughing

Zilchster SG

The list is surprising. But it's only a training list. Many drivers from various services have been trained on the B9TL but eventually not every service got the B9TL, so yeah. When the 500 buses are out, the mystery will be solved.

TIB1018B SG

Most probably will happen once the MK2 permers lifespans are up...

azharjj SG

I will like to know so far, which MKII buses have been deregistered ?

TWS4793 SG

105 units have so far been deregistered (excluding MKIIs deregistered earlier). Regos are SBS 1696L to SBS 1800C.

If we add SBS 1805P, SBS 1815K, SBS 1824J, SBS 1836A and SBS 1867K, that adds up to 110 units. 90 units, including those on lay up (were their parts cannibalised?), are still not deregistered.

vivienlee SG

Sv 191 is gonna lose its non aircon perm SBS1806L very soon Twisted Evil

SBS9888Y SG

i think SL should lay the 2 remaining mark IIs they have, up..they’re quite useless..

SBS9888Y SG

after the mark IIs go..BB, AR and HG will have an FAC fleet..BR is actually left with only 3 N113CRB NAC on 155..should get rid of them by dumping on 125 or 186 and exchanging them for 0405..72T should run to 155 and put 248D over to 157..alot of sp 0405 keep cameoing on 186..
