  SBS815S [ HGDEP 325 ]  Lay up status.
  It met an minor accident. Depending on whether HGDEP wants to fix it or not, a bus from random services will ply 325 for a short while if HGDEP wants to fix SBS815S.

  WAB buses from various services are replacing the missing spot on 325.

  No more MK3s will be fixed after getting into a serious accident, because they will be de-registered in 1 to 2 months time.

  Huh? I checked SBS815S on OM and it is not reflected as lay-up status.

  Umm the OM's updater isn't updating the website till now.
  They will only reflect it instantly when it reached the MAIN dereg date.
  This is an accident and so SBS will need to inform OM to update.

  Uh dude, thanks to your statement here, you've made 'SBS2656X' crazy about his 815S going laid-up sooner than expected after it was involved in a minor collision.

  These are the buses that are going to be gone collectively by 23 Mar & 31 Mar. The next batch after this goes off only on 11 May. 

  23 Mar:
  770L (BN 40)
  771J (BN 39)
  772G (Training)
  776X (BN 42)
  778R (BN SP)
  779M (BB SP)
  780H (BN 32)
  781E (BN SP)
  782C (BB SP)
  783A (AR 32)
  
  31 Mar:
  758Z (AR 92)
  761M (AR 93)
  767Y (AR 92)
  784Y (AR 92)
  786S (AR 93)
  787P (AR 200)
  789J (AR 93)
  791B (BN 222)
  793X (BB 175) - Should be out of 175 already, replaced by Citaro.
  795R (AR 5) - Should be replaced by 2611A which has been on 5 for ages.
  798H (AR 16)
  799E (AR 200)
  802D (AR 191)

  The transfers of Mk4s from SLBP back to BBDEP these few days should indicate what are some of the replacements for these buses under AR/BB.
  
  For BNDEP side, the Mk4 SP fleet likely to be all gone after the 5 Mk3s in this list goes off. I'm quite interested to know if they decide to put in a Mk4 replacement for those 2 Sv 32 Mk3s or would they put their SP Citaros/KUBs onto 32 one shot, since 32 already has 5007A 6028H & 6039B & need 7 more WABs.

  222's replacement for 791B should be a Citaro given it already has 3 others. Still a long way from WAB quota though unless Wrights go 222.

  Ya thank god 815S is back. If 815S went laid-up as you said after a minor collision, I think the world would be haywire by then.
