  I'm surprised that there are only 2, where I thought there is more.

  SBS487E have gone to the scrap yard.. i think it was repainted into full purple livery to be converted into some other usage, such as the drug buster bus or what, but think they scrap the idea later on....

  Think so.Tat time lemon1974 also posted abt it somewhere in tis forum if i rmb correctly..

  it was in AMDEp shortly after it was laid up and repainted into purple livery. then it disappear for about 1-2 month, then reappear again at the laid up corner of AMDEP... guess they did not manage to convert the bus to some other use, due to the lifespan is too short...

  They can't extend the lifespan further as a private bus like the Leyland Olympian children bus?

  peak hours? anyway 240 is feeder mah. route timing not that long.  just wait somewhere in the route (if possible, the bus stops just are opposite)..  see the bus come then just run...

  Geez, I wanted to edit my post and I've gotten a reply already. Thanks for your help, but I managed to find the Bus Timetable on SBST's website. In fact I wanted to know which location is the best, but I guess you've answered it. (:
