Service 143 using Leyland Olympian 3-AXLES
-
I personally think that sv143 cannot use LO3X as most of the time it break down easily..Is it that the LO3X cannot travel on long distance?I have encounter a few times that the LO3X usually break down on sv143..
-
maybe replace all DD 143s wif B9TLs/VSOs, then the LO3x goes to JIS feeders
-
think the industrial workers rather have NAC buses so as to save $ thank you very much.Originally posted by vivienlee:maybe replace all DD 143s wif B9TLs/VSOs, then the LO3x goes to JIS feeders -

Eventually all the NAC buses will have to goOriginally posted by sinicker:think the industrial workers rather have NAC buses so as to save $ thank you very much. -
I thought svc 143 has used Lo3x for a very long time?

Breakdown ? you must be kidding.. Leyland buses are one of th most reliable buses around..Originally posted by choww:I personally think that sv143 cannot use LO3X as most of the time it break down easily..Is it that the LO3X cannot travel on long distance?I have encounter a few times that the LO3X usually break down on sv143.. -
Except those on 179, which seldom achieves a "full attendance" LO3x...Originally posted by sBs_boy:Leyland buses are one of th most reliable buses around..
Probably because of the very stressful driving... -
sv 143 is Lo3x very longest more than 12 years.

I think Svc 143 deserves better buses such as B9TLs since it passes by Orchard, Chinatown and Harbourfront which are places of interest and in addition, the demand of this svc is there.

this bus was burn in 1994 if im not wrong. Back then when this guy was very newOriginally posted by 9800:sv 143 is Lo3x very longest more than 12 years.

since the introduce of LO3x loh.Originally posted by tanjun:I thought svc 143 has used Lo3x for a very long time?
SBS9010 to SBS9021 were deployed in 1993.
till now, most of these buses are still on SV 143, with some additions when it is converted to FAC.
Only new bus added is VSO SBS9815. Should put more VSO/B9TL or even VO3x on SV 143 since it is high demand... -
well
143 has some gassies , one b10tl. and the occasional strider or vo3x cameo
there is also 2699 on 143 what -
The LO3X is actually one of my favourites for long distance, being able to sustain speeds of above 65 or even 70 on many occasions. My other favourite is the MKIII.Originally posted by choww:I personally think that sv143 cannot use LO3X as most of the time it break down easily..Is it that the LO3X cannot travel on long distance?I have encounter a few times that the LO3X usually break down on sv143.. -
Ask SBST.
-
time to come , Lo3X , 0405s shd appear on JIS svcs
when Vo2X retire when SBST wipes out NAC buses -
by d time vo2x retires is oso times up 4 d lo3x tooOriginally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:time to come , Lo3X shd appear on JIS svcs

Eh must put in a fair word, LO3X can speed n be faster than VSO anytime, it's more reliable than VSOs/VO3X on expressways, for sv143, try taking SBS9044, one of the better engines around
Do refrain from condemning the bus coz it's old n the 1st batch of AC DDs! -
But when you compare them to the Nissans which are built around the same time, they look so much newer!Originally posted by Acx1688:Do refrain from condemning the bus coz it's old n the 1st batch of AC DDs!
Even LO3x A/C still powerful... -
LO3x will retire earlier than VO2x if SBST does not extend the lifespan...Originally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:time to come , Lo3X , 0405s shd appear on JIS svcs

MB0405 will retire even earlier than LO3x.... -
so which SD buses will take over the 0405s ???Originally posted by lemon1974:LO3x will retire earlier than VO2x if SBST does not extend the lifespan...
MB0405 will retire even earlier than LO3x....
i think sBst will extend the lifespan of the 0405 CACs -
i tot u should ask which SD buses will take over those MK II and Scania since they are going to retire first?Originally posted by SBS BUSES LOVER:so which SD buses will take over the 0405s ???
i think sBst will extend the lifespan of the 0405 CACs
but i think these MK II and scania are going to be replace by B9TL right now..
400 buses replaced by 200 ADD.. so... longer wait for buses... -

most probably , but let's say :
284 uses Mk 2 fleet ...
then B9TL goes to 284 ? , i don't think so , most likely SBST will buy more SD buses ,
oh well no one knows what the future awaits !
