I think 9579P also. Any reason why for 9586T?
Been wanting to post this, but because of SBS2618G's sudden entrance, I held back (2 extra buses). SBS9579P is perm 8 replacing 9323/9485/9510, so likely it'll extend.

Do you know what departure times from Tampines or Toa Payoh for 9579P on weekdays please, it's one of the 8 I want to ride on. -
SBS9381S has already been sent to the scrapyard...

Not sure where to post this, but I would like to say that SBS9580J (AMDEP 133) is refurbished.
Features:- Repainted livery and rims
- Repainted yellow (darker than original, khaki) door handles and poles from the front to exit door area (lower deck). The pole along the staricase is also repainted, looking very clean!
- Cleaned flooring, looks quite shiny!
- Repainted doors (the black frames)
*Unfortunately, the original aircon ducts were not cleaned and are still dirty!
Also, a new black CCTV was spotted on the upper deck just in front of the 'BUS STOPPING' sign. However, I am glad that AMDEP has kept many of the original pink seat covers on SBS9520H and this bus. Seeing the thorough refurbishment for this bus, I would say that this bus has been extended for 2 years.

Definitely it is here, any information that proves crucial as to whether a bus will get extended (e.g. is the bus refurbished; is the bus spotted laid up, etc.) will go here.

Yep, I thought this was the relevant thread to post this, since it is about the retiring VO3Xs... I was slightly confused with the title only showing 'Lay-up and Redeployment'.

Think by next year only a handful of batch 2 VOs,Batch 3 VOs along with the MKIV DM3500s will stay till 2016..

Spotted another Volvo Olympian 3-axle at Kranji scrapyard. Front rego plate is removed.

SBS9370Z, SBS9378C, SBS9383L and SBS9389X had already been towed out of AMDEP lay up corner, but now one Batch 2 VO3x is taking their place.

SBS9592A in HGDEP lay-up corner. Can't see the extent of the damage though.
