  By the way, are there any news on the Volvo Olympians' de-registration and lifespan extension?

  SBS9275R - SBS9284P will be de-registered tomorrow and DON'T ARGUE ABOUT. cos SBS Transit forgot that they are extending VO3X. They will therefore make way for SBS3xxx series.

  If what he says is false, then I shall edit the two posts.

  By the way how can I check the status of buses on OM?

  Yeaps, wait till a proper working day to check. Sometimes the system lags big-time on weekends.

  Doesn't make sense for 9278H to be transferred to SLBP and then deregistered after a few days. If it's going to be deregistered, shouldn't it have just stayed at BBDEP instead?

  LOL, how can 9275R and 9284P be de-reg? They just got new ads. And the rest in that range, i would say the various depots still need those very much as proper working buses. I don't see them going off just yet. Probably just late in extension, so the system showed the original lifespan expiry date instead.

  What about 9035S & 9045M? AFAIK, i don't think they have appeared on the roads lately.
