Does anyone suspects that the last June batch for the Batch 2s will be gone case? Lifespan not extended as of now...and no Wrights have been registered for at least two weeks...

Remember too that 9519M was repainted not long before its initial dereg date and yet it didn't get the extension too. Alot of things could happen in between even if they get repainted.
If one day they discover the chassis got one hole (like 9573E in the next batch), then those repainted ones can say bye-bye alr too. -
i think 9554K (CGP 8) repainted interior seems refurbished

Looks like the lifespans of these buses are extended in the evening...as updated in OM. But as you said SBS9552R is very slow, it did not get extended...the repainted ones got extended though.

I am quite surprised 9478Y got extended. 9478Y perm 51 since day 1. 9596P perm 51 for 11 years already. 9382P perm 51 for 10 years. 51 VO3x are so 'old'
Seems that 51 is not considered a long service...

SBS9395C's lifespan has been extended till next year...it's SBS9397Y that's de-registering, already under awaiting de-registration status.

My guess for de-registeration for 9513-9542 was:
9513: Extended. It only served 1 long route for 5 years during its lifespan.
9514: Extended: It did not serve many long routes.
9515: Extended. Although it served long routes for half its lifespan, the subsequent services were not as long. -

Those with bad condition, likewise interior or chassis problem.

I know. But I have said before, this is the only thread I would strive to maintain it alive...

Saw this link on Buses[in]gapore, stating that it is the link for checking lifespan expiry.
just used this link to check the VO3Xs with this link, and it states that all VO3Xs from 9561 - 9567 will be scrapped.

There's another advice I would like to give...
Sometimes, SBS Transit would give last minute extensions; e.g. If a bus' lifespan expiry date is on 12 March 2012, either it will get its extension on 13 March 2012 (the next day), or reflected as de-registered for a while before being reflected as lifespan extended. This is a case of the Volvo Olympians in the past with real dates. Link is here.
Although since then, there hasn't been any case of last minute lifespan extensions lately...so maybe the last few batches of Volvo Olympians Batch 2 would have been gone case.

Actually the MK IVs Striders & VOs can donate to Sentosa Island for tourist usage also..

Sentosa Island now became all single deck unless it is for charter, at least can buy Volvo B9TL/Optare Olympus also.

Actually, 'SBS3004X' might not be wrong. I don't recall any of those 10 VO3xs in the 20-27Jul batch having any repaints done to them recently (esp those BNDEP & HGDEP ones).
Or it could be here that they're extending both the 20 Jul & 27 Jul (& possibly 06 Aug too) batches together, which might explain why they're dragging for so long. Because I'm almost certain that there's at least 1 VO3x in the 06 Aug that will be extended..
