Basically I think they still use some different parts as one is a single decker and another is a double decker. Moreover I feel that SBST might have learnt its lesson not to buy so many buses from one brand. Just look at the modification costs they have to incur to correct the faults of the KUBs, like the grabpoles, installing torsion bush to make the body less vibrating, modifying transmission and braking systems, etc. Anyway, the KUD demo is an EURO 4 version. Not sure whether there is an EEV or even EURO 6 version.I don't think SBST will buy anymore EURO 4 buses in future. And Volvo proved to be a more realiable brand for double deckers for the past 20 years. It is more logical that SBST sticks to buying Volvo double decker buses. -
As long as the bus wheel doesn't fall off when I'm on it, or cause resonance within the body, or microwave me on a rotating seat.....I'm cool with any DD.
The K310UD is good enough to me in that sense.

the kub problem is coz SBST didn't plan properly.
they were rushing with registration w/o realising the problems that existed in the kubs.
even the interior wasn't exactly well planned.they shld have sent out 1 or 2 as demostrators, then order the rest months later with all the modifications that were required on the later batches done beforehand.

My opinion is they can buy more wrights as simple as that, but one thing for sure, NO more Scania buses as they are a nightmare on the roads! Any other brands but Scania. If K310ud is good enough for you, please go to HK and try the Dennis Enviro 500! Anyway talking about the wright, took 7570 and 7531 few days ago, there was a time when the engine lost power for a moment , didn't stall but the aircon sudden shutdown and strong vibration , driver has to slow down , then back to normal before he speed up, I wonder what caused this to happen.

something off topic, a few CDGE B9TL i have taken got this bad vibration noise when it is not moving. what is the cause of the problem? also the engine roar is very loud. is it due to the poor bodywork?

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.
You are glad but some others and I aren't glad! And it's not K310UB it's K310UD. K310UB is single-deck. -

maybe it's 7552 (if got Canon ad). I saw it going along PIE (behind Bedok reservoir) ytd evening. If it ain't been working as 5, might be going "home" aft its training class all over the place.

Yea wise guy , then keep the Scania K310UD off this thread, this thread as you can see is about wright. Ranting of Scania is over! Back to the topic. :) -

no. it's about maintenance. -
all sorts of new buses go there for training. so dont be too alarmed if u see them at serangoon or hougang int.Originally posted by TIB1086D:
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.

I thought I saw a wright operating on svc 147 last night. Anyone can confirm?

Charles thats probably the fuel cut off system implemented by SBST.Ever encountered one DM3500 where the A/C sudden cut off when the speedo needle show 65kmh,When i slow down to 61kmh the A/C re-activate back.One way to prevent BC from speeding with pax on board,LOL
