  1. No more. S76 bus transfers to S125. Means AM peak add 1 bus. Night less 1 bus. PM Peak unchanged. 125A trips done by 2 125 buses 0758 0810 0822 0834

  2. replied in the timetable thread.

  3. 29min off service run time. S130 uses this.

  hey guys! i have some clarifications to make regarding the engines used for certain buses as follow:

  • Volvo B10M MKIV (DM3500)
    - It is believed to be using DH10A-285 engine, but according to OneMotoring, the engine used is actually a THD102KF model, whereby the 'H' in the engine model represents that the engine is a horizontal one.
  • Volvo B10M MKIV (DM)
    - It is stated that the Voith ones are using THD101GC engine, the same engine used on the MKIIIs and the MKIIs. however, some of these Voith ones are found to be fitted with THD102KF engines, same as the Soon Chow counterparts.
  • Volvo Olympian 2-axles
    - It is stated that this batch of buses are using THD102KF, but my findings show that it is actually using the TD102KF engine.
  • Volvo Olympian 3-axles (Batch 2 & 3)
    - Stated online that these 270 buses are using D10A engines, but my findings show that the TD102KF engines are being used..
  • SMRT MB O405
    - Am I right to say that these buses are using the OM447hA engines, which are not fitted with intercooler?

  yup. there are all. could someone help me to find out? thanks a lot!

  That makes sense for the Voith MKIVs. I've never been convinced that ALL were fitted with the THD101...they perform better than the other ZF MKIV DMs which I suppose are the ones with the THD101. Same goes for the VOs. Some have performance characteristics more like the batch 1s. And yes for the SMRT 0405s. No intercooler.

  I disagree for the DM3500s. The engine used here is not likely to be the THD102.

  The rear of LO3 ext has two ventilation blocks, rather that one whole.
