  I saw 729P on the e'way but no L plates only a yellow paper on the front and back.

  Route training is w/o L plates I think....

  For someone who claims to be old enough to work, the same person is not old enough to take the Basic Driving Test?

  This bus broke down earlier this year @ ATS bus-stop somewhere near international friendship day. After it was back 2 weeks later, this bus sped very fast and overtook an citaro. So many months liao, should be gearbox use long become cui.

  PA715B on Off-Service today. This Dennis Lance was spotted outside COURTS this afternoon, probably doing IKEA Shuttle Service.

  

  Pay attention to the doors closely. Notice that these are not the typical doors used for the Dennis Lances. Instead, you would have realised that these are actually doors from the SBST Mercedes-Benz O405! The red and white covering is just to cover up the minor details of the doors so they will appear more like ordinary Dennis Lance rectangular doors instead.  

  

  

  Some Dennis Lances do have different rear duct fittings as well. In this case, we have 12 rectangular ones, where there should be 6 circular ones typically.

  Makes me wonder where SMRT got the doors from? From SBST itself or from the scrapyards
