  sometimes i wonder why sv 292 is not put to KUB training. the N113 currently serving are in low condition. im not discriminating but i would be very thnkful if at least 1 or 2 inside the 292 fleet. wah when to wait, 1 year more, 2 years? i dunno

  High chance this service will upgrade to a MK3 fleet in future, unless other solutions can be done to upgrade the fleet.

  I believe 292 will get KUB quite soon, as BN is trying to deploy KUBs on feeders/shorthauls. Like what SBS594D has said, 228 is undergoing KUB training.

  Up to you to believe.

  And services which have undergone WAB training doesn't mean it will get WABs asap. S124 undergone WAB twice and got the deployments cancelled twice.

  I realised there is one KUB from BNDEP had developed a different sound from the rest of the batch. It sounds like a loud tractor, not the usual truck-like Scania accent engine sound.

   

  Well, this week deployments are:

  293 (BN), 3 (BN), 69 (BN), 154 (SL), 157 (??), 66 (SL).

  157 is also from Soon Lee. Note that SLBP has taken in 7 units from 8485 - 8491. For what reason, I don't know.

  Currently 154 & 157 only have 1 K230s each.

  Either more for them or 66/other SL-services...

  Not for the time being, the CNG is still there on S66. S143 has got enough slots for CNGs, 3 S-shifts alocated for 143/93 xover, 1 overnight parking 87S is a DD block, and the last S-shift under slbp side 35S is 143/543 xover. You should consult the guy who's more pro in S143.

  Their BCs are KUB trained as they may be pulled out to do other services, but 292 won't get K230 anytime soon.
