Lay-up and redeployment of SBST's Volvo B10M Mk III's
-
are there any chance of preserving B10M Mark III, O405, N113CRB aft de-registration?
-
Nope.
If they can't spare Bukit Brown, why spare a couple of scrap metal?

I heard the burnt marks was due to removal of the advertisments, apparently using the heater or something to get the advert glue to unstick. I'm not even sure this is really how an advertisment is stuck on though.I thought so too for some of the Bendies. But then for some of the other Bendies, ever wondered why the burnt marks are that close to the radiators and like only concentrated at the trailer section?

Hahaha...I thought you want all SBS Transit Citaros to have their livery removed?

Does all MkIII Volvos have a "B10M" badge engraved on them? SBS815S have them

SBS729H, SBS731C-SBS752P and SBS754J-SBS757B had been de-registered.

Shall take this chance to remember those Mk3s that have recently been deregistered on 24 Feb 2012.
My beloved Service 39 Mk3, SBS752P, stayed on 39 since I came into this bus-spotting hobby in 2005. All these years, did not left 39 for another perm, serving the Tampines-Yishun dutifully so many years, seldom cameoing around.
While other Mk3s such as 726R, 852J came to perm 39 shortly before leaving for elsewhere, 752P stayed all along.
Even as the former-BN 39 DM3500s of 2828S, 2829P, 2830J, 2832D left for BBDEP, 752P still remained.
Even as the newer KUBs came into 39, 752P stayed in 39's perm fleet and survived not being kicked out.
Its mileage and wear & tear might be the higest since it practically did the expressway sector almost everyday, but at least it stayed till the very last day of its lifespan when I saw it still doing its loyal perm Service 39 yesterday.
Its condition was pretty worn out when I took it last week, but at least it didn't break down or catch fire before it was due to go.
So thank you for your services 752P, hope the new permer that replaces you would be as long-lasting too.Next to go is 771J which is still on 39 but came over from BN 6 and other perm services.

Those that survived not being restickered over or repainted many times, yeah they should have them. Very few still have the full badges though, usually those that are not restickered before.

I hope to see either a Citaro or KUB replaces 752P.

Prior to being on 39, 752P was hoping around the AMDEP services providing entertainment as it appeared on services like 72.
A nostalgic feel since 72 once had a significant B10M fleet in the late 90s and early 2000s.

From what I've seen these 2 days for a new week since 752P went off, 912U seems likely. But it's still early days. No timetable change for 39 anytime soon, so confirm the replacement won't be a WAB.
But if they do deploy one, please don't put KUBs. They are sluggish on the expressways, even when 39 is cruising at such snail pace. -

Yeah, and I recalled 601S being the only Mk3 in AMDEP for quite a while back then. And everyone would go like 'WOAH' when 601S does services like 21, 72, 162 and all.

No no, I'm talking from the logical point of view. Because BNDEP's trend is not to flood its WAB services with too many WABs to become wastage of resources, usually once the BNDEP service has the minimum buses to clear the 60% quota, that's it. They tend not to add anymore after that, although 168 recently bucks that trend. Although I get where you're coming from.

17 Volvo Olympian 3-Axle (17 Batch 1)There isnt any DM3500 spare for 325... So MOST probably will be replaced by the 2 spare striders...
Striders - Spiders... Lols.
Or even be replaced by a K230UB/*Citaro...
LE CREEPY K230UB, I DONT WANT YOU. CITARO, I WANT YOU TO HAB K230UB'S COLD AIR CON.
* = Most unlikely case as MOST buses needed a PERM WAB bus before they add Citaros in it. -
