  849U has not been on 103 for more than a month, and i haven't heard about it running around.

  Just an update, 858T is still happily doing its perm service 359 as of 19 May. I'm not so sure about 879H though, went cameoing around since Wed (I forgot which service, but its perm timing was covered by a SP KUB), Thurs (168), Fri (518). Hopefully it stays till its last day.

  Can you help me observe over the next few days as well? I think it might have been kicked out of 358 since last week, its timings since Wed replaced by 8328D (Except for yesterday). Oh shucks.

  I dont stay where 358 roams at. Haha ps. To add, 876R did sv28 some time back last week. This is the best time to see these mkIII's on BN's services before they go.

  Aiyoh, I was meaning to look out for 879H cameoing elsewhere like on other BN services! For 358 I can spot if 879H is MIA cause I know its timings.  Yeah, take 359, almost everyday 858T is on. Loyal bus, I like.

  Haha. I see I see. My aim is to take 876R before it goes cause I havent felt its ZF power yet.

  Think 877M is a better bet for the ZF power, if AR didn't lay up the bus yet that is. The sound from the gearbox is quite evident even from the outside 2 weeks back on 195.

  SBS2668L replacing 103's SBS849U.
  SBS849U probably laid-up till end of lifespan in contradiction to AEW5001's post.

  Hmm. A bus should not disappear without a trace...
  Other than being laid-up, it would be a/w deregisteration...
  Since AWE5001 said that SBS849U was not heard camoing anywhere...

  think you must have misunderstood me.
  what I meant was, it was not reflected as laid-up over at OM.
