EXCEPT:
SBS 9191Z, SBS9196K - no extension as of today

so total 6 LO3x going off from SLBP. no wonder AMDEP transfer some new Wright to SLBP...

9191 9196 still with old ducts, that is why....... And SLBP had already got more wrights to replace LOs liao.

type wrong date..... some Wrights are to replacing the merc indirectly as some service are getting DDs or more DDs... so far around 30-40 Lo3x are gone (9000-9022 + some of the rest)... so i feel some VO2x might go also....

I think VO2x should phased out 1st if SBST wanna be fully air-con...

Some Vo2x will go i think.. VO2x lifespan end from 13/6/2011 to 23/2/2012.... while Vo3x batch 1 lifespan end from 9/6/2011 to 27/6/2012. there are around 70 more Wright from 1st batch not yet deployed... dun think SBST will go deregister VO3x batch 1 first instead of VO2x...

I think we may not wait long for the 2nd batch of buses to come in, and If that's the case, acceleration of the retirement of VO 2 axles may take place. Who knows?

I hope that they extend the VO3x batch 1 for another year or 2.

Many of them still have strong air con systems...

It is fleet additions for some. Like 241, their LO3xes were replaced by 2 CDGEs.

No, it is exactly 19 years. The registration for SBS9189G to SBS9199C were registered on the 27 Apr 1994, not exceeding the extension limit.

I believe 9055 to 9090 batch, at least few of them will go for de-registration, expecially from SLBP side and maybe 9055 9057 9070 9083 9085 after SLBP had intook some new registered wrights & VO3x from BB/HG whereas AMDEP/BRBP had also intook some of new wrights. But if 9055 9057 9970 9083 9085 extend again, 9188 9189 9190 9192 9193 can go off liao.

For 9188 to 9199, most likely 9191 will not be extended since it is still unrefurbished.

SBS9188J was burned on 7 March 2010 and had been de-registered by 4 November 2010.
