ula_man SG I think he is referring to the actual plate no displayed at the bus at Youth Park. It's T 708 Z . Thats why he mentioned 7xx. lolz.
SBS9818A SG Actual rego is SBS Transit 1708Z. The Kingsmen LO2X is actually SBS 6907, the first LO2X to grace our roads.
SBS9818A SG The rego painted on the Kingsmen LO2X is so obviously a fake. They just assigned random numbers and suffix. SBS 1708L is still existing, it's on a Clementi feeder.

delonchew SG This morning: 1) SBS3588C on 358 has there been a switch between 354 and 358? Lately I have been seeing SBS3651 on 354 while SBS3588C doing 358. Or is it due to school hols? 2) SBS3743(?) on 51 SBSL with Emerson full body ad.

SBS 0461 D on 238 (bram 28 ), replacing SBS 3693 G timings before 1600 hrs. SBS 0564 R on 73 (AM SP) SBS 0885 P on 163 (HG 62) SBS 3693 G on 238, replacing SBS 3722 G timings. SBS 9509 S of 28 had some problems @1620 hrs. Bus was ready to leave TPY but it reversed and did a small round around the TPY trunk berths, before coming back and take pax later. There seems to be a console problem. Problem was probably settled after the driver did the mini ride.
^tamago^ SG no. i swear i saw the Mk3 SP bus 652U. in fact, jus a week ago, i was taking it every evening, sometimes on svc 19 or on 89, out of SAF Ferry Terminal at Nicoll Dr when i book out of Pulau Tekong every evening to stay out so i recognise it straight away. probably it's doing spare duty on svc 64 today and svc 51 yesterday. 928G (Lance 211 with DM front) on 852 today (yesterday it was 851) 2815D on 39 (bndep 15) 1207Y on 812 (800) 567P Scania on 857 today 1003T on 853 (169?) 1238H on 854 (811) 2813J on 76 (amdep 168 ) SMRTB 799L on 169 (857)

^tamago^ SG i think i wrote wrongly. i think it is hgdep. trying to find out past threads where i stated 652U doing SP duty: Anything rare you see on the roads - Part 3 Pg. 17 (10-Jun-04)
^tamago^ SG Originally posted by AdAptAliS: Don't know where to post this. Saw one on those machines that tows trains? (those yellow coloured machines that uses the mrt track usually parking at depots) passing by Serangoon Station heading for Harbour Front. Previously a stationary train was at Potong Pasir also heading for HBF. such way maintenance locomotives (made by Bombardier i think) are common on both NEL and SMRT lines. fret not, it came from Sengkang Depot after the last southbound train to do checking of rails for excessive grinding, misalignment etc. in fact, if u are going home to Serangoon/Hougang/Sengkang/Punggol on the last train, u may be able to see the locomotive move into the opposite platform. tis happens every time i'm at dhoby ghaut. Then, a stationary train was at Sengkang Station heading for Punggol. Caused my train, heading for Punggol, to use Platform A, (heading for HBF). I didn't know they could change tracks like this cause it was using Platform B when bypassing Buangkok Station. First time i alighted NEL on the "wrong" platform. Pretty strange. there is a NB to SB crossover just after Buangkok NB. these special rail configurations that allow trains to change tracks are called crossovers. try standing at the front console of NEL train and see the crossovers after Buangkok. and anyway, the stationary train at Platform A was probably terminating revenue service at Sengkang and heading home to Sengkang Depot. All happen between 2342 and 0003.
gynobcard SG i think SBST wants to cash in on the school hol crowd to the resorts and thus has temporarily converted 354 to a full a/c svc. 3651 has been sch hol perm for quite some time. 584H was on 354 also yest.

It is a Lance B245 with flat windscreens and its oringinal UMW DM body. And there is a common mistake for Lances, The Lances with big big desto (besides 928G, cos it should have a small one, but they replace it) are Lance 245s too they use Cummins C245 engines
