  I've lately noticed that the 1st batch of Mercedes O405s bodied by Walter Alexander seem to be having a new makeover... I often take buses from Bishan Interchange and they seem to be everywhere..
  
  1st batch = Buses from SBS 0082 P ~ SBS 0281 G
  
  Makeover:
  
  Exterior given a new coat of paint
  Licence plates given a fresh new look
  EZ-Link readers changed to purple ones
  Interior flooring changed
  Fluorescent lighting changed
  
  Whenever I take those buses (Esp. SBS 0103 M (410G AMDEP)) that they have a fresh smell of plastic and rubber...

  If you are unfamilar with the bus forum, there is a thread called Did You Notice?, where you can post such information. Also this piece of information have been posted here before. The O.405 (WA) which have got refurbished are the amdep ones.

  Anyway I used to lurk at the Trains Forums... wanted to settle down here but found out that it was being raided by spammers.
