There were no O 305s operating out of Kalamunda depot prior to the introduction of the OC 500 diesels.
The Renaults at Kalamunda depot are still based there and will continue to be based there for the foreseeable future.
The OC 500 diesels replaced O 405 NHs on a one-for-one basis, with no more O 405 NHs now remaining at Kalamunda depot.
Seen & taken 1307 on route 299. -

The Euro 5/EEV engines with 9.3-litres of displacement, variable geometry turbocharging and Scania XPI are much better and the K280UB is actually very reasonable.

I'm not buying the argument of SG not being able to take care of the 113s.
The SBST and SMRT ones all vibrate badly, unlike the Merc and Volvos.

See all Scanias are creepy vibrating crap so we must buy 800 more MAN and Citaro!!! -
So Dave what do you think of Volvo B9L?Dunno why SBSTransit arent keen to buy this?Fuel/cost factor or simply flaw design?I was hoping SMRT could trial the MAN Lion City Double Deckers with 3 doors,2 staircase at least before they decided to retire their bendies..

I was hoping that Veolia-Transdev would get B9Ls, but they went for the B7RLEs instead.

B9L would be alright - a good compromise between performance and economy. I would still prefer either of the Germans (Merc or MAN) however.

The B57s gave me itchy ears when I was little. The CRBs that replaced them were another thing altogether. -

Of all the Scania K230UBs SBST brought, perhaps it is the Euro V ones that are the only jerking ones.
The rest? Just INTIMINATING CITAROS WITHOUT LOW FLOORS -
5 cylinders tend to vibrate but can be minimised.The KUBs crush loads is the factor SBST buy them..I was hoping K270UB.The Penang one vibrate less

I meant those Euro IVs [ P.A. SBS8???? ]
are just like the citaros just that...
1. They are NOT full low floor.
2. Their air-con stronger.
3. They are more confortable to sit in.
4. You would not get dizziness.
5. It is sometimes faster. -

No. It is true. Remember the time when a citaro reach bus stop?
It slants slightly to the left. Stupid hydraulics.
KUB got slant but is negligible. Therefore KUB more comfortable.
The citaro seat like sitting on a metal chair with a stack of books underneath 2 of the legs. -

Stop jerking off in a K230UB please. That is my most precious bus available right now.
