  O405's are being refurbished first. There's quite a number of unrefurbished O405s in good condition needing a refurbishment for its last 2 years stretch before it goes off.

  All O405s had been refurbished (with new emergency exits and repainted green interior). It's just that they re-refurbished the O405s again with OC interior, and priority seats notice/stickers. The version of re-refurbishment varies.

  Why don't they list down the buses re-refurbished whether they are Version 1 (TIB426M's style, with the  flooring untouched) or Version 2 (TIB427K's style, with OC flooring)? I only know TIB438D, TIB444K and TIB448A is re-refurbished with Version 1 style.

  But to the main point, SMRT could have refurbished the Lances even before the O405s started their re-refurbishments.

  As i mentoned, it's more towards cleaning up of the interior from the first refurb to this refurb and repainting them. The flooring is probably depending on the condition of each of the bus. The O405s have about two more years due to extension, which is still a substantial time on the roads given they are running on the roads every day.

  Ok.

  But I what I want to know is, which O405s were re-refurbished with O405 flooring retained (TIB426M) and which with OC flooring (TIB427K).

  I'd already mentioned TIB472D is re-refurbished which means it is spotted on the roads.
