  I've also noticed that all of them does not have a proper green piority seats - it is the same texture as the old seats, not those green seats found on CDGEs.

  Something interesting about SBS993K (BNDEP 42), it's blue seats are unchanged but it's green seats were changed to those refurbished type. Of course it's ducts were refurbishe.

  If the ducts are refurbed, I guess it's safe already..as for the seats, I guess it's probably gonna be stuck on Sv 42 forever till its expiry happens in 2 years then. Its current demand might not justify the need to refurb all the seats if you think about it.

  Yes, it got yellow seats since August this year but I'm not sure whether it has new ducts but it should be repainted by now.

  Nowdays earlier de-registrations happen frequently...like the MK3s, Leyland Olympians and now the MK4 DMs.

  SBS990T(BRBP 131) also has radiator problems...

  When the bus goes into 2nd or 3rd gear, the radiator gives off some kind of loud and funny noises...

  I wished to know whether there are other DMs with old seats but with new ducts other than SBS993K.
