SBS1912M and SBS1914H: Sv 174
SBS896H and SBS932L: Sv 502 and 502A(AM peak) respectively
SBS932L MIA-ed few days and then it did 174e with ad+skyliner removed.
SBS896H was reported the metal cover was loosened while its on 502. then it was removed from service immediately and myself spotted it doing 154 in the evening.
the introduction of Century golithic destos in SLBP services.

SLBP had many Mk IVs in the past, so how can it be the first day revenue service?

He meant the first day when some Mk4s were depot xfered to SLBP. -
Who can remembers SBS8441J that first did 143/93* Xover? The kub was first seen at harbour front int on 11 jun about to serve on sv 93 xover from 143 and i happen to take it.
Additionally SBS8033D did 154 on 19 feb -

well...i would say 'several' can be used, but this type of installation can be classed as a form of 'mass spam' in my eyes...

2nd time DAF appears on 184 in 2009. -

Common. This training bus is based under bbdep. It doesn't park over night at hgdep.

no one remembered SBS8352H did 334 as non-xover before the intro of scania k230s? and it was SLBP 1st batch 2 bus spotted to have EDS font bolded.

Oooh, didnt know that. I think my other memorable cameo taken by me was taking SBS8021M on 333.

I first saw SBS8426D on 12 has its number bolded on the EDS. That was in early September this year.
Other notcieable cameo: SBS8421S on 354. -
the introduction of Scania K series buses on several services including 333 334 335 242 243 88 155 31

Dun forget 142 and 241. When sevice 241 introduced and the amendment of service 242, sv 241 started off with merc and later on advanced to KUBs.
For 142, the service was also being advanced to KUB and at the same year of the KUB introduction of 142, the service declared WAB status.
And btw the first KUB that did the 243/198* x-over was SBS8201K (22 apr) and for 241 was SBS8359P (the period when mercs are perm on 241 and no KUBs permed yet, which was on 13 apr).
Noticeably this year, other services like 78, 79, 135, 136, 502 and 506 had also deployed KUBs. -
For me:
SBS 9889 U on 99.
The rapid colonisation of KUBs on O405-Dominated services.
-
57,59,73,142,155,231 and 235 are some examples .... seriously its ugly when white n green plate services switched to KUB's.....why cant TPY feeders use striders (especially 238 ... u can die when seeing the que at TPY int) and MK4's instead

How does using MK4 on 238 solve the queue problem at TPY int?? They are still single deckers with only one entrance door.
At first, i thought the white and green plate services will be differentiated by lit LED words on unlit background versus unlit words on a lit background. But then i realised it will get even more confusing. Haha. -
