SBS Transit retire buses much earlier in some cases just to make way for new buses...there are still more than 200 Citaros not registered.
Originally posted by All the Best!:SBST all bus don't hv 3rd one but, SMRT all got. So would hope SBST will install them
Not all, O405 and O405G MK I don't have 3rd brake light. Not sure about other models. I think the DAF also don't have...
Add on: SBS8444B
Total SPAD registered buses: 80 buses
DM3500 (0/19) - Likely not going to be registered.

2 KUBs registered:
- SBS8115B
- SBS8208S
Hopefully they should chase all the B10M Mark IV DM3500 out, and bring in Euro 4 K230UBs from ARBP, BBDEP, HGDEP, and SLBP and come to one and only BBDEP to perm 160/170 soon. Then either the new O530 Citaro or spare K230UB from AMDEP to replace those buses and bring them to HGDEP to perm 27, 34, 64, 100. Because AMDEP/BRBP and BNDEP/CGBP has too many Euro 4 Batch 2 K230UBs.
Hope they keep dm 3500 for the normal and express service, cause this are the buses wwith more seats and minimal vibration.Air con is gd too.
Originally posted by SBS 9631X:Actually, why I pointed out the ex-HG 27 B2 E4 KUBs in the list was because, I've the thinking that those KUBs that were ex-perm HG 27 had their gearbox "tuned" somewhat differently compared to the other E4 KUBs you see running around on the roads.
The rev limiters on those ex-HG 27 KUBs don't cut in that early as the others, so therefore they can engage "kickdown mode" more easily than the other E4 KUBs without the usual jerkiness. It's as though HG has done something specifically back to those KUBs back then when they were perm HG 27 and played with their ECU mapping or something.
Purposely use these special 27 perm KUBs, because the gearbox is smoother... But, I seriously think that the other KUBs from other depots should have their gearboxes tuned like these 27 perm KUBs, then no need so much depot transfers...
It seems that HGDEP have started deploying their JB registered K230UBs out from their perms for some services already, replacing with those 67xx Citaros. Can anyone confirm this?

Confirmed. SBS8312Z was replaced with SBS6726B on 113.

8439S on 99 today .. majority of the HG kubs are coming over already......
Hmm sbst should at least buy the B8RLE for their fleets...Citaro can't take many standees afterall.

The SP 671x-series Citaros in HG should be for Sv 27 by the looks of it. Likewise the first few 672x SP Citaros.

8440L on Sv 16 already today from another bus fan~
Messy week / weekend ahead~

I wonder if 8387H is still in HGDEP or not.
Seems that 6730M took over 8387H slot for 163 side since last week.
8258Y is still in HGDEP doing 109 today.
Heh.
No wonder I've been seeing more and more 27 perms with third brake lights and JB stix.
Not bad not bad. I'm ready for more crowding on 27.
But Thank God now I don't use 27 as often anymore. *phew*
Anyways hope the Citaros register quickly to replace the leaving KUBs. If Citaro fleet is really shortage, non-WAB svcs can have the DM3500s but it should not be for long.

Yup, more new Citaros should quickly gets registered and post to HGDEP to replace those WAB services with JB registerd K230UBs. And just wondering if BBDEP would send some ex-JB DM3500s to HGDEP in return or not (some planning must be done carefully in order to avoid reducing the WAB quota for WAB services).
Maybe it should be just nice for the DM3500s to replace the older MK4 DMs which are due for retirement soon.

Boarded SBS 8128P that is on service 160 today. 160 fleet has changed,not using DM500 anymore,all using scania K230UB now.
