  SBS128S with Jet star ads

  So like ppl mentioned above,when u all see WA Mercs especially the 1x series just take them.Dont wait.U might not know that that is the last time u are seeing that bus.I have encountered this many times alr and i really regret not catching some buses only to find out that they were de-reg soon after.It can be really sad if u find out that a bus is de-reg and it happened to be the same bus u just saw 5 days ago.So if u all see WA Mercs just whack.Dont let time pass.Cuz if u all have noticed,the WA Mercs are gg off sooner than expected now.So enjoy them now and dont regret later.

  yes i agree with you. lol i haven't taken much of other models other than o405's for days.  

  oh well, i learnt a lesson from the crb days. just gna apply it on the merz.

  SBS273E and SBS277U no need to fear for now although we have to be careful as we are seeing now how fast even the later batches of WA Mercs are suddenly being laid up day by day.So if we see them cameoing now must just take them.

  have just browse through the sept cameo spotting thread.. seem like SBS141/143/144/147/148/149/150 did not cameo on any service from 3rd sept onwards. Seem like that they have been laid up? likewise for SBS150/152/153/154/156/157/158/158/159? did any one saw these buses the past few days? Cant find any cameo listing for these 15* series buses for the past three days (sat/sun/mon)... seem like gone case also? only spotted 16* series merc in the cameo list.

  yesterday, AMDEP remove some of the old laid up mercs to scrapyard....107C gone case liao..

  SBS158E still living as at today, it didnt do cameo tournament and cont to perm 136.  The 2 perm siblings 164L and 166G I wonder if euro v did them in.

  One WA on 58 today, no rego spotted cos opp direction and blockages. If not proven as cameo take it as 154#
