eX.A.K.R. SG I once heard somewhere that the Malaysian Lances really were excess stock or something like that, and no one else wanted them until SMRT (then TIBS) came to the rescue . That's why they exude such a sense of "Malaysian"; not only were they built there, but they were originally built to their standards, right down to the words on the used ticket box (Ever noticed that it lacks a 'c', like this: "TIKET"? That's Malay for "ticket" ). Not sure if they really were sold at bargain-basement prices, but then, you never know what the Malaysians can do to get rid of things they don't want (no offense intended). The two Volgren-bodied ones are also Malaysian products, but they were originally without bodies. Then-TIBS decided to dress them up in their version of the Volgren bodies, with the modified "smiley" front. One Malaysian Lance spots more "enclosed" paneling around the doors; that was the only Dennis Lance CSS used (originally CSS 310G); it is now TIB 1257C. UK Lances, don't know .
XTransbus SG there are many varieties for Uk lances. Most of them have Wright bodies or Plaxton bodies. Northern Ireland had one demo of it with ALX PS body in 93.
SBS9888Y SG dennis darts… why 10 only? other buses like 200, 231, 284, 358, 402, 408, 409 shld deploy dennis darts…
stooper SG Talking about Darts, why did SBST sell (or scrap?) the 811Ds? I don't think they were anywhere near the 17 years at that point.
iveco SG Actually, the Denise Trident was something I thought of suggesting for JoWood if they plan on creating another sequel to Transport Giant. Already, the Heyland (Leyland) national and Tetra (Setra) buses are featured. However, there was no DD or bendy.
iveco SG Anyone you know by the name of Walter & Alexander? Also, the name Setanta has its roots in Gaelic folklore. The WA-bodied DAFs were originally meant for Dublin.
SBS9888Y SG tridents have cameoed on 74, 147 153, 165… ex-services like 85, 502 do have tridents last time and current perm buses 51, 62, 64, 80 & 89
Volvo Olympian SG Tridents do cameo on 107 before also. Sv 51 Trident , more or less all went to 80 only left a few.
