  Can x-fer some VO3x to SLBP mahx. IMO, 198 seriously needs some of them since there still have loads of VO3x perms left.

  Send the ARBP VOs to serve JIS and repalce them with WEG B9TLs.

  23, 65, 132, 166.

  For their existing VO3X, regardless of batch, deploy to other services. Really sick and tired of the VO3Xs "domination" over the above services.

  
  Our poor SLBP drivers had been surving with the old LO on 90% that  "domination" over all its services. I believe they are even more sick and tired of it.

  Service 65 and 111 are not WAB services. Priority goes to WAB services.

  So 22, 30, 60, 136 should not get any wrights and should never be WAB.

  wrights are supposed to replace the outgoing LO3X and these services used to hav quite a number of LO3X..i dun see why they shouldnt get it. also, all sbst services will eventually be WAB in the future.

  well, ultimately, SBST has full decision as to which services they want to put the B9 Wrights on. not necessarily to put on WAB services or put on services with outgoing LO3x.

  I Forsee 98 2 get Wright perms unless 98 only wants VO3xs (or perm 174 LO3xs) since after Wright invaded 197. Coz their similarities: Shortage of perm buses due to deregistration of LO3xs.

  197 had already lost 9106. If 9118 never extends (yesterday on the road), 98 will have shortage of 3 perm buses because the entire fleets already get lifespan extension liao.

  Realise that for now, those wrights are meant to replace shortage of perm buses, 30 was theone of them.

  Yay! Just took SBS7533J on Svc. 30! Very quiet and smooth. And the acceleration is superb! The only problem is that there are frequent sparking sounds coming from the rear. I hear quite a few passengers complaining about them.

   Ya. About the sparking sound. I remember having passengers on 60 telling driver that the bus got problem because of that sparking sound.(which is not a problem) SBS should stick a sticker there or something......

  Dream on....... There are also many services which already have WAB perms still never WAB certified yet, probably due to non-WAB friendlies available along the bus stop for most.

  But 197 is along with many routes that are already WAB, like 7, 196, 147 and it passes by SGH and NUH.

  I saw some old volvo air-con DD buses replaced the leyland air-con DD serving 199 and some JIS route. something like 92xx onwards. Their turn to scrapped soon in the coming next 2 to 3 years including non-air DD buses.

  Eh... Wrights acceleration is not that great based on the Engine SBST has for this particular model...
