  It's not only SBS526B man but so many hundreds of other buses are also being laid up before they are sent for scrap.They lay up the bus in the depot first to take out the good condition vital usable spare body parts which can be used for the other buses in case something like an accident happens to them.Then this spare body parts which was taken out from the 'about to be scrapped bus' come in useful and can be used to save the other bus.Correct me if i am wrong.

  Majority of unrefurbished mercs in AMDEP were laid up and deregistered becuase of the incoming scania KUB buses to AMDEP to be ready for service.. same as the Scania N113s.

  Yeah.I have took SBS525D and SBS521P before.SBS525D u are correct it really has very good aircon.For SBS521P,like i mentioned before it really has very smooth accleration and a very quiet engine.

   

  As for SBS441L and SBS556P,if i want to joyride on them,it's expensive leh cuz u know why lah.So unless they happen to cameo and if i am very lucky to happen to be there at that time they cameo,i will definitely take and try them out.
