since buses here are auto, is there a fixed rpm of gear chg? and wats the redline rpm?

19xx comprises Volvo Mk4 as well. Your SLWS have a sole SBS 2647 Y. Does this loner Mk4 Strider do its maintainance (not including pm) at slbp or at bbdep?Originally posted by MS:If you all realised, the best way to recognise the bus model is through the number plates. All th 29xx series are CNG, Some 3 digits series, 37xx, 38xx, 39xx are MB0405, 72xx are Volvo Olympians 2xle, 90xx, 91xx are Leyland Olympians 3xle, 26xx & 27xx, 82xx are Volvo MK4, 18xx, 17xx are Volvo MK2 -
not fixed, it all depends on factors like vehicle speed, load and rpm.Originally posted by SBS9828X:since buses here are auto, is there a fixed rpm of gear chg? and wats the redline rpm?
redline rpm for buses is usually 2500/min. -
sorry typoOriginally posted by SBS 233 X:Thought is 8019 to 8028? -
for CNG leh?Originally posted by ^tamago^:not fixed, it all depends on factors like vehicle speed, load and rpm.
redline rpm for buses is usually 2500/min.

hello, bus, not car.Originally posted by SBS9828X:for CNG leh?
but 2.5? so little? i expected sumwer abt 4000 tho
a car with a small engine can run 4000rpm (redline is 7000rpm), but if u ask a bus with a big engine to run at that rate, it will break apart immediately. -
B9TL will go to Soon Lee?? So would it be possible to move their Leyland Olympian to another depots??Originally posted by service_238:Seems like it has been becoming a trend for sbst to hibernate buses before launching them for revenue service. we have...
B9TL at Soon Lee (assuming its the same procedure as the B10TLs)
-
bro, he said "assuming". relax.Originally posted by billlmf:B9TL will go to Soon Lee?? So would it be possible to move their Leyland Olympian to another depots?? -
in any case, slbp has excess parking space so it can be a holding area for B9TL's.
-
yes this is true. very er irritatingOriginally posted by SBS1985C:someone told me that 2991C has problem with its reverse light and sounds when the BC steps on the brakes

No. What he meant was that the B9TLs would temporarily be stored at SLBP awaiting to do revenue service.Originally posted by billlmf:B9TL will go to Soon Lee?? So would it be possible to move their Leyland Olympian to another depots?? -
Now that Charles has handed the forum back to Jason, Zilchy and Darryl seem to be taking advantage of the confusion to engage in flaming. Prepare to get banned, both of you.
Anyway, I think SBST should have got the Merc O405NH CNGs instead of the Volvo B10BLEs. The former have proven their worth in the Swan Valley. -
So far
SBS2997L
SBS2998J
SBS2999G
have been deployed for svc 243 . -

Mercedes-Benz O 405 NH CNG buses are very average performers. The Mercedes-Benz OC 500 LE is by far superior.

In any case, there are rumours that the OC500s are on their way to Singaore this year or next.Originally posted by PoweredByCNG:Mercedes-Benz O 405 NH CNG buses are very average performers. The Mercedes-Benz OC 500 LE is by far superior.

Anyway, TP1854 was twice spotted serving the Circle Route. -

Yup, 1854 to 1863 are regularly allocated to Circleroute duties.
Hope to see you when I return to Perth in February!

What the hell do u mean by that, iveco/andrew? I don't see any flaming. Why do you even try to cause trouble in a forum you don't even belong to? How about all of us go to your beloved hogwart's forum with your happy pothead foamers and start causing $hit in there?Originally posted by iveco:Now that Charles has handed the forum back to Jason, Zilchy and Darryl seem to be taking advantage of the confusion to engage in flaming.

okok .... Lets get back to topic.

I notice the new batch of CNG buses don't have the kneeling function.
-
some do have, from observation.Originally posted by Halide:I notice the new batch of CNG buses don't have the kneeling function. -
So does the CNGs have or do not have the kneeling function?
-
What is a kneeling function?
-
When stationary, the vehicle can be raised and lowered to facilitate the passengers’ entry and exit –all at the press of a button. This allows easy access for wheelchairs, prams, and people who have difficulty with steps.Originally posted by stooper:What is a kneeling function? -
Should be all 12 CNG have the kneeling function. Saw one of the new CNG on Service 105 demo this (Rego should be 2992, can't remember).Originally posted by SBS1985C:So does the CNGs have or do not have the kneeling function?
