  Its trial was started on 22 July 2008 when the MAN is inaugurated on Service 6. That was when SBS3608D was taken out from BNDEP 6.

  Maybe when 518 eventually gets KUB-ized, 8031J can be on it to replace the L94UB.

  Right now the issue is that we have no idea whether if its really going to come back to life.As much as i hope it would,the chances are a little low....

  wah hahaha.The return of SBS8031J agn....I cannot control my excitement after hearing this news....woohoo!!!!Finally SBST has somehow got their brain back.
  
  But then if it really comes back this time,hopefully it wont perm svc 6 agn.So boring everytime on 6 cuz the route is so short.I want to try this bus on a long-haul svc especially if express svc even better.hopefully as sgbuses said above,it can do svc 518 or like normal long-haul trunk svcs like 66,197,196 and 10.

• Merczrox

  Think ah if it returns this time,SBST might buy it.Hopefully they do....

  The underlined sentence seems to be a bit inappropriate. I rather you say "SBST has somehow made the right decision this time round of bringing 8031J back". It doesn't look nice when other forumers from big organisations or even SBST themselves look at it.

  Basically, 8031J were maintained properly when it was perm Service 6. Due to the small amount of BCs perm on the route. Even Service 17 can't take good care of this bus.

  Afterall, it's glad to hear 8031J returning SBST.

  I hope that it may be permanent or temporary on Trunk 2, 33, 40 or Feeder 229 soon.
