  I saw a few kubs parked at the lay up corner in AMDEP in between the laid up Mercs on friday.are they new kubs waiting to go out in the roads?i couldn't see them clearly because they were 'sandwiched' in between those laid up Mercs.

  if i am right,
  - 400u of KUBE5 bought to replace N113s + MB0405, but since some MB0405 are given extension...means those newly bought KUB [eur 5] are only extras to the sbst fleet?

  O405+N113 = 900 units.

  SBST also now buying total 900 kubs which exactly replaces the total amount of the Merc 0405s and Scania N113CRBs which is also 900.but as scaniaB7RLE asked,since quite a number of Mercs have got lifespan extensions,the remaining amount of the Euro 5 kubs serve as a fleet expansion for SBST?

  I find it quite funny since there are total 900 Buses (N113 + Mercz) = 900 KUBs,
  
  Wad about MK3 replacement?

  I can't imagine 1200 KUBs on the roads...  

  (200 N113s + 700 Mercs + 300 MK3s) = 1200 KUBs

  1 year lifespan extension doesn't mean it will stay forever....
