  Regarding the last 2 non a/c LO2x parked at Clementi and Orchard.

  Are they still drivable or are they just a shell with the engine removed?

  I think not drivable.. 
  
  My last ride on LO2X was on Service 28, from Tampines Ave 9 to Ave 2. That time it didn't turn in to Tampines Mart area. After that, it was replaced with the new VSOs..

  If I'm not wrong that was SBS7196Z only right? Or both?

  That one is the volvo 2 axle model.  The other 2 are the LOs.

  Nice pic.  Sadly, both models will be almost gone soon.

  No idea. Ask those people who painted it in 2006.

  Is this SBS7227T?

  Anyway, they can call "bus stopping", train stopping instead.

  Was a student of that school and have been in that 'student lounge' before. truth be told nobody bothered about that bus and it was just rotting away at that corner. iirc the bus was painted by the student council and they were kinda in charge.. well, perhaps being kept there is better than ending up in the scrapyard.

  I see. I think its more of an aesthetic feature as its "forever empty", given that few hours I was in TJC for an event back when the photos were taken

  Nice...most probably this bus was converted around 2006/2007.
