  Might be old news to many but suspect SBS9497S upper deck windscreen was kope from SBS9574C, hence the SBST logo on the upper deck windscreen.

  When did this happen? Prior to SBS9574C's scrap, its windscreen has been transferred?

  It was used by the SPF for training purposes for the past 3 years.

  Do I suspect that a few of the Batch 1 Olympians are now awaiting deregistration?

  There is also one piece of old news; prior to its de-registration, SBS9457H has gotten into an accident and was not repaired; therefore the bus did not receive lifespan extensions...

  I still see 9394E on 89 last week. So that bus is still safe for now.
