service 111 beforeOriginally posted by 5454:So What service did this bus serve on.![]()
Yes, but few...Originally posted by TIB1133B:Did the LO2X ever have red seats? I thought only the WA Type L and DM-bodied LAs and the Willowbrooke O305 had red seats among the DDs.
In fact, all those buses brought in during the 1970s and early 80s had red seats. THe first bus with blue seats were the WA Type R LAs.
Red seats discussed here meant the old metal "Khinco" brand seats with a woodgrain motif backing. These were the standard seats on SBS buses until the arrival of the Alexander R type Leyland Atlantean and Mercedes O305 in 1984. Buses after 1984 all have blue seats. The seats on the aircon buses were grey with 2 blue velvet stripes, roughly the covering the area of a person's back and bum. AC buses were a premium service back then.Originally posted by sbst275:Yes, but few...
bram ones all confirmed red seats aft 1999...
Changes: Red seat, signal/ lighting indicators at the back 'poped out'
Personally, I have seen SBS 9C on services 111 (my one and only ride on this bus was on 111 in 1992!) and 9. (Yes! SBS 9C on service 9! Unbelievable?) Sources said that it was first used on service 3 and then 118.Originally posted by SBS9828X:But this bus had no front desto holder...or was it removed like 81S?

The bus has a desto holder but it was removed after it became a training bus. It was hung from the top-right (as seen from the front). As the desto was quite small, a regular size desto plate was placed at the bottom of the windscreen.

Wow ! Hey, the front desto looks very small, so they put the normal size on the bottom, I guess. I notice that the bus door is narrow.Originally posted by SBS9828X:mwaahaaahaaahaaaFound this picture
