No no no and no, 7888 is one of the worst DD buses ever, I am glad that bus is gone, really cmi. Why? So much problems with that bus, and its Scania you talking about. You should go and look at the other bus types, Dennis Enviro, Man Lion City ....etc There are a lots of better types of DD buses than Scania. Unless Scania release a much better product, I would say a big fat NO to any of their buses. The Volvo B9TL Wright beats the K310UB in every aspect. Period.

Well not exactly every aspect, 7888 does weigh 1 ton lesser than the b9tl. Does make for some substantial fuel savings there. But generally yes, the B9TL Wrights are much much better.

It was laid up for a short period of time, now it's out of laid up, probably going back to service any time soon.

That's what I think also... Cos last sat i saw 7630, 7571 (from slbp), 7552(canon ad from bndep), 7601(from brbp) all of them were training buses driving in and out of HGDEP. Maybe is WEG2 conversion course and HGDEP is the training center.

Wrights are replacing all sort of buses right now... LO/VO etc etc....so now Sv168 got 2 wrights (full day -7589/7597) as fleet add (as mention by you previously) and another2 wrights to replace 2 of the LO3x? can confirm which Lo3x is out?

So far can't yet. Plus, despite the 2(7589 and 7597) is on 168, there will be 3/4 LOs(that's last time, now left 0) doing on 168.

seriously, from SBST's point of view, it's realistic they buy KUDs.

given that they alr have so many kubs, spare parts would be so much easier to find.
