SBS228L. This is a BR busOriginally posted by Scania:SBS228L SBS516E SBS3899E
Which is the odd one out? This question is not about deployments nor rego patterns.
SBS516E. This bus does not have ZF gearbox -
First answer , i guess its invalid . He has said that it is nothing about deployment . I guess placement in depots is placed under deployment category.Originally posted by choww:SBS228L. This is a BR bus
SBS516E. This bus does not have ZF gearbox
The answer i think should be :
SBS228L is the only bus to be WA bodied . The other 2 buses are DM bodied , one is OAC , one is CAC. -

Answer is TIB987K. All of the 4 buses used to have Ban Leong Pawnshop ad., however among all the 4, TIB987K still has the ad. on, while the other 3 had it removed.
