Some random stuff:
1. The rear doors found on the newer (Batch 3) Wrights have small european-like handles (like the O405s, but nearer to the middle).
2. The refurbishment of Sentosa's B7RLEs includes the exchange for new handgrips with new screws, newer (darker) air-con leather ducts and others...
3. The 'BUS STOPPING' bell buttons on the SMRT Batch 1 Citaros are rectangular, while the Batch 2 has the normal ones found on most of the other buses... Prefer the first one...
-
SMB148T (AMDEP 852) - rear door take a while to stop and close, if the BC presses the door closing button when the doors are opening... Sounds like a ZF, whistling sounds like engine whining, cannot feel that Voith whistle... Overall, very nice Batch 1 Citaro!
TIB863J (KJDEP 189) - bus in quite a bad condition, seats rattle like crazy... Rear trailer A/C filter panels swapped, left got 3 eyeball vents, while right side got 4 of them...

Now fuel pump also gone and left only with manual bus washers at night..Good riddance Taxis are gone else there'll be more chaos.Do you know how many accidents those taxis cause?Bus wanna reverse they chiong behind you,Bus plus parking become their place for sleep and wash taxis..Sooner or later Lor 1 will be demolish and reinstated dunno what will it became...By right they should fitted a fuel pump and bus washer there also so buses no need to refuel at Amdep..61,167,961,980,985,RWS8 all benefits...Even svc like 75,106,190,960 can be minor Amdep control

use opposite side bus-stop? it's a sign that 300 might go to CCK ave 6 in the near future (since current CCK ave 5 meets ave 6)

Saw a Olympian Batch 1 with side logo painted over in white but still in service. IIRC it's SBS9348P on 37. It has since returned to the depot as split shift has ended. I will check out the bus again to confirm later in the evening, hopefully they still deploy it.

Was in service again during split shift. Wonder why was the logo painted over, accidental deployment or was there a mix up between it and the retired Olympians.
