  It is odd not because of the EDS glass panel.
  It is odd is more of the fact that it has the original 1 piece windscreen. The only other ELBO with the full original front is 833X.

  then again, 842 does not have a lace style EDS. Its just that they modified the glass panel from slanted to straight. Thus giving people the feeling of "lance" EDS panel when everything else is the same.

  The windscreen is in fact different. 833X is the only one with the original windscreen now. The edges of 833X windscreen are round. 842U's windscreen has been replaced, it has more angular edges.

   1) Changi Airport PTB?

   2, 3 and 3a) No idea.

   4) Biggest in terms of area? I believe that would be the old Jurong Interchange. At present, in terms of the most services and possibly area, its Boon Lay Interchange.

   5) In terms of running number, it would be 8030L (B7RLE). In terms of registration, its 8033D (K230); but it shared the same registration date as 8034B - 8037T & 8888D.

   6) 100

  Counting the demonstrator 8033D would be 101...

  8033D - 8131D = 99
  8138K, 8888D = 2
  
  99 + 2 = 101

  Q5... Hmm I forgot if B9TLs were Euro III or IV, if it is then the first such bus would be 7300P lor.

  6) - How many Scania K230s has been registered as of 14.03.08 .

   For 3), is it 13?

  Cos it crosses Kallang River at Marymount Rd, then at Braddel Rd, and then at Bendemeer Rd, and again at Kallang MRT. It crosses 4 times in 1 direction.

  1) Woodlands Regional Interchange?
  2) Tridents in SLBP? I thought they are all the while in HGDEP?
  4) probably Boon Lay Temp Int
  5) SBS8033D
  6) From SBS8033D to SBS8131D, it's 99. plus SBS8138K and SBS8888D, it'll be 101. but if excluding the demo, it'll b 100.

  B9TLs are Euro III. SBS2888T is dunno Euro I or Euro II. if B9TLs are Euro III, then the newer buses after the B9s are K230s, which are the first Euro IVs. but since SBS8033D is a demonstrator, it'll be registered first, therefore, the first.

  The questions seem tricky.......I seem to know of more Scania K230UBs around which are registered with LTA (means you can check LTA and get the result).
