  November.

  The aim of starting this thread is to compound the buses which are refurbished with New Red/Green Seats, repainted interiors and white rims. They are ready to expand their lifespan.

  White RIMS??? based on current situation whereby the DM3500 are still not refitted with 3rd Brake light and based on the arrival of new buses, the MK III are most likely to be extended......

  And the change of seats too.

  For me, I judge the bus which is preparing to extend lifespan is to see the shiny interior of buses. Just like Merczs.

  803B has new flooring and the smell when O405s are refurbed, thou the seats looks the same. Not sure if that's called refurbed..
