SBS 1688 K:
I read in earlier topics that SBS 1688 K was hiding inside the depot awaiting for spare parts from overseas. Is this bus back into revenue service already? If yes, on which svc?? -
The Lynx (SBS3572Y) was sent by Leyland as a demonstrator. Regulations state that demo vehicles can only stay for 1 year, after which it must be bought or re-exported. SBS later decided to buy the Lynx. Hence, it wasn't re-exported like the Leyland Leopard and the Leyland National 2. Unfortunately, there were no further orders for the Lynx.Originally posted by 105090:Leyland Lynx (SBS3572Y) was sent to SBS in 1989 from leyland, probably as a "sample" bus.. did SBS ordered it or leyland sent it to SBS themselves? in this post its said lynx cost $287281.. aint it be free? and is it possible to ask SBS to put it on revenue svc? goodwill ma..
SBS3572Y is unique as it is the only Lynx to be found in the region. The Lynx was originally intended for the British market as the successor of the Leyland National 2. It has already served its time on revenue service in the 1990s, having been deployed on svs. 106, 267 and 269 to name a few. I don't feel that SBST would like to put it back into revenue service because it is nearing its retirement age, having been registered in 1989. There's no aircon, no farebox and no cardreader. Sad but true, it is slowly rusting away inside Ang Mo Kio Depot. -
here's something interesting.Originally posted by 105090:Leyland Lynx (SBS3572Y) was sent to SBS in 1989 from leyland, probably as a "sample" bus.. did SBS ordered it or leyland sent it to SBS themselves? in this post its said lynx cost $287281.. aint it be free? and is it possible to ask SBS to put it on revenue svc? goodwill ma..
$287,281 is the Open Market Value (OMV) of the vehicle, which most of the time is the cost of importing the vehicle incl. bodywork/kit costs.
interestingly, the OMV can be defined as the cost required to sell and export the vehicle to its country of origin, if the OMV cannot be calculated by the first method. -
That's so badOriginally posted by The_Bus_Guide:... I don't feel that SBST would like to put it back into revenue service because it is nearing its retirement age, having been registered in 1989.

I only ride this Lynx once only on 267 at 1997. I really miss this unique bus. -

Good luck then. Happy waiting. SBS 1688K is very hard to find.Originally posted by SBS3688Y:thks. guess i got to carry on waiting again for it to re-appear... -
Another question...
3) When will the CRBs to be scrapped completely ?
4) Most of the CRBs are used on training buses. Are there anymore CRB found in service? If there is, which number ? -
in fact, impossible. dun bother to wait for it specifically until someone accidentally spots it on the roads.Originally posted by CAIX:Good luck then. Happy waiting. SBS 1688K is very hard to find.
it's as hard as winning 4D now. but the number (1688?
) will come out one day.

4) You haven't been to the east recently, did you? Since when are most of the CRBs used as training buses. There are less than 20-25 training buses in the whole of SBST. -
i know of a way to get lynx on da rds again.. not impossible, but if someone wants to charter for a SBS bus, he can specially request for the leyland lynx.. firstly, its not on revenue svcs, so no bus service will have to sacrifice its buses. also, it allows SBS to use it again, and for ppl to see it on the roads once moreOriginally posted by The_Bus_Guide:SBS3572Y is unique as it is the only Lynx to be found in the region.

What happened to the MAN bus? It is still used for training, isn't it?
-
used to see it regularly around Hougang area and Hougang South Int, but not recently.. i only see it once or twice in new colours. still used for training bus.. heard was on sv76 beforeOriginally posted by iveco:What happened to the MAN bus? It is still used for training, isn't it? -
i thought scrapped long ago, sometime in 1999? it's rego shld be SBS0081C.Originally posted by iveco:What happened to the MAN bus? It is still used for training, isn't it? -
no. to put it back, SBS has to pay $800 in road taxes to use it for the last 6 months. too costly for a single charter.Originally posted by Townlink 268:i know of a way to get lynx on da rds again.. not impossible, but if someone wants to charter for a SBS bus, he can specially request for the leyland lynx.. firstly, its not on revenue svcs, so no bus service will have to sacrifice its buses. also, it allows SBS to use it again, and for ppl to see it on the roads once more -
Scrapped? Heavens, no! The MAN 16.240 was registered as SBS 81S in 1990. Why would SBS scrap it when it was only 9 years old? Anyway, I've got pictures of it taken in 2003 and the last time I saw it was only a year ago. It was even re-painted in SBST colours. I'm sure it is still used as a training bus and kept inside Ang Mo Kio Depot (I think).Originally posted by ^tamago^:i thought scrapped long ago, sometime in 1999? it's rego shld be SBS0081C.
SBS 81S was put on 76. I don't know about other services but I think someone had spotted it doing 61 (or was it 106?) as well. -
81S is still well-alive and kicking. Can be sighted in AMK, HG training. It has SBS livery as of 3 mths ago when I last saw it. Haha, momentary lapse in tamago's memory.
