ZYX2005 SG ah yes an intruiging one DAFs on 160 any moe regos u recall/ i have 677 690 692 and 693 only ZYX
AntiDennisLance SG No other voithed ones that I know of. BTW the Voiths in 335S and 336P were also largely speculation. The biggest clue or giveaway was that these two buses had the characteristic Voith whistle upon braking. They aceleration sounded different from ZF's too, and did not have the characteristic ZF catcall upon braking. TIB279X and TIB280R were the two AC TIBS buses. The other 3 belonged to CSS - CSS267L, CSS268J and CSS269G. CSS269G differed from the TIBS Hino HT238 OAC's on 950 because 269G had a single piece rear windscreen while the TIBS ones had a 3-piece each. These 5 were all OAC, although they looked like CAC because their windows can be opened.
AntiDennisLance SG I dun remember seeing 770 and 771 perm on 803. 754, 755 and 756, as far as i know were new new on 803.
Oceane SG I believe some of the VO2x used to belong to BNDEP before... and it was recently they were all given to the west.
TIB1018B SG TIB1254K was perm on WLDEP service 980 before being replaced by CSS183U. After which TIB1254K end up cameoing on service 187 instead
TIB1018B SG No choice mah...Tibs still wants to maintain the NAC, PAC and FAC status from SBS. So they got to redeploy the NAC Nissan buses and also to assign the new AC Merc buses accordingly. Services 82 and 103 were lucky in the way that new NAC Merc buses had come in by the time they were taken over by Tibs, so they were spared from the old NAC Nissan buses and got all the new AC and NAC Merc buses. Services 59 and 163 got the new AC Scania Striders instead But did services 214E and 214W got the NAC Nissans or the new NAC Merc?? Cos they were also NAC services from SBS.
AntiDennisLance SG No, 214E and 214W got TIB's 725A, 726Y and 727U, plucked directly from service 803. For a few weeks service 803 got full nissan and hino cameos everyday until TIB's 754R, 755M and 756K arrived into service.
Oceane SG Ya, I only remember it was the one with the full Traffic Police ad... can't remember if it was 0726 or 0746.
vivienlee SG Both got the dark blue police ads. Sv 812 should be using TIB726Y, cos wat I remember was tat TIB746P was all the way sv 82 when under Tibs control.
Apex-LW'21 SG Hmm... let me see wad I should contribute here.. ANyways, did u know TIB895S & TIB896P were on trial for RapidBus 700. There is a pix on the TIB895S On 700 parked at a berth at Woodlnds Reg Int which is found on the TIBS Annual Report 1999.
^tamago^ SG Did they have the transponders installed that is required for all RapidBus services? Or is it just a promotional shot and not on revenue service?
AntiDennisLance SG No leh. TIB's 745S, 746P and 747L DID serve perm on 812 for a while. However, it was not very long lived. For a start, they underwent conversion to CAC (and still stayed in 812 for a short while after that), and then they got replaced by bendies.
service_238 SG oh yes they did... my lovely 31s until early 2002 SBS 7281 K SBS 7282 H SBS 7283 E SBS 7284 C SBS 7285 A SBS 7286 Y SBS 7287 U SBS 7288 S
vivienlee SG Tat was in year 2000 after these 3 buses were juz converted to aircon buses. Remembered TIB746P did sv 980 after sv 82 went back to SBS, it then went to sv 812 when it juz convert to aircon in 2000. TIB726Y did sv 812 before in the earlier days when it was non aircon until the bus was xfer over to WLDEP when newly opened in 1998.
