  I saw the last time the chassis of the new double decker buses tow to HG deport was last year about june or july. That are the new VSO double decker buses on the road now. So I guess it take a 6 to 8 month before a new bus bringing assembled.
  
  I ever saw a sbs web page on how long it take a new bus to assembled. Maybe you can refer to the sbs wbsite to find out.

  Also, usually how long would SBST take to assemble a double-decker in its body assembly plant? And is it the plant located in HGDEP?

  BRAM would be a more likely location.
