  I would like to ask these questions about the ex-SBS Leisure L113CRLs

  1. It's serving Queenstown to MDIS shuttle, what time does it go around?

  2. Does it have d same specifications as the first-hand L113CRLs purchased by West Point (besides the fact that the latter got rear door)?

  3. If so, do they have ZF 4HP500? Or higher capacity ZF (ZF 4HP590)?

  4. Is the engine as stated in sgwiki Scania DS1121 (320bhp)? 

  Hope these questions are answered as I'm off to find this bus.

  The ones originally bought by Westpoint are L113CRBs.

  Q: Why some MANs such as SMB210X and 249K have greeting and thanking announcement and others don't have it at all?

  Better that they are not installed.

  Useless, noisy, irritating and waste of money!

  So they both have different engine? Do they both operate the queenstown shuttle? And do they use 4HP500?

  Yes they are using ZF4HP500. Probably the same engine, but on different chassis, L113CRB is a standard floor citybus chassis, while L113CRL is a low entry citybus chassis. Operation wise I am not sure.

  wait, first hand were L113CRB, then the ex-SBSL ones were also L113CRB or L113CRL?

  P.s. I went on the bus at MDIS shuttle already, but one question is how do I get a clear recording of the bus? During shuttle it is filled with people. Any way to board it besides MDIS shuttle?

  I would like to ask what the long or short beeps from the buses' IBIS systems mean? Is it an indication whether the bus is late or early on its schedule?

  It's still around, but it cannot be driven as (I heard) its engine has been removed and the bus has already been de-registered.

  the engine is removed, bus needs to be towed out instead. and the schoolhouse plans to scrap it or refurbish it. However the plan to scrap or refurbish is not yet confirmed.

  Is it true that newer buses purchased from this year must be fully low floor?
