If you check sgwiki there's no such record. TIBS buses are all diesel. -

For what I observed of the internal components moving indicated that the cylinders/valves operate the door, thereafter there are no more mechanisms involved. The cylinders have pressure inside (just like hydraulics) to keep the cylinder in closed position. Should there be any movement, that would likely be a leak in the cylinder or losing of pressure inside the valve system.
That also explains two things; when a test switch is pressed on the bus (seemingly only accessible when under inspection/repair), the compressed air in the system would all be let out (and yes, even a O405G Habit can kneel) and the doors will swing out, as the air inside is released and there is no more pressure to hold the cylinders in closed position. Solving this would require some revving of the engine and charging of the compressed air. Secondly would be that doors cannot operate when the compressed air inside the system is not sufficient/nil. The doors can open, but cannot close. Insufficient/nil compressed air also affect suspension systems, as the bus would likely tilt to one side, this applies on O405 and older systems particularly, as newer systems have better monitoring (but still can be override/fault developed).

Hi,
Can anyone explain the rank system of BCs? So far, I have seen kitkat bars and round badges being pinned on the left collar of some BCs.
Also, why do perm buses from a service A cameo on another service B? Service A would then have a shortage of a bus and need another bus to cameo. Wouldn't it be simpler for a SP bus to cameo on service B to replace any missing bus? Then there wont be a need to play merry-go-around with the other buses.
Thx.

Not anytime soon as it has short layover times during peak hours.People have the misconception that single depot = jump bus. this is not the case for alot of services

Hi guys, can I check with you if there's any overnight parking for the buses at the bus interchanges?
Also, how do all these cameos occur?

yescameo is when a bus from a certain perm svc does another svc
Example: SBS134Z on 155 (BR 154)
e 1 in bracket is e perm svc, which is 154
