Shud more Dennis Tridents be bought to replace older buses?
-
Should more of those Dennis Tridents be bought into the SBST to replace the older buses like the MK2s *sobs*? It seems quite fast and reliable to me. Opinions please....
-
DDs replacing SDs? How about bringing in more MK4s instead as the MK2 and Scanias make their way out and then buy more Tridents/VSOs to replace the VO 2 axles?

As per other posts regarding this, Volvo B10M Mark 4 are no longer in production. Even the Volvo B10BLE (the successor to the B10M series) are no longer in production. As such, do not expect to see these buses being purchased by SBST and to grace our roads. (But if SBST had bought more of the B10BLE secretly, Volvo must fulfil the orders and they should be on the roads when the time comes.)Originally posted by leeJZ:DDs replacing SDs?

The successor to the Volvo B10BLE is the Volvo B12BLE.
I believe the Volvo Super Olympian model (Volvo B10TL) production line has ceased, and replaced with the Volvo B9TL model.
Cheers and warm regards -
Yeah. Thats right. B10M, B10BLE, and all olympian production lines have ceased.

B10M, B10BLE and B10TL lines have been shut. SBST will have to go for the B7RLE or the B12BLE.

B7RLE for SD & B9TL for DDOriginally posted by SBS9818A:B10M, B10BLE and B10TL lines have been shut. SBST will have to go for the B7RLE or the B12BLE.
Is it fine 
B12BLE is fine,But the engine displacement is too large.
(Road tax is pricey) -
If they buy Dennis Trident, put more of them @ BNDEP, west districts of Singapore.
