BB & HG can still supply VO3x to SL? more wrights for HG & BB.. -

What about 9035S & 9045M? AFAIK, i don't think they have appeared on the roads lately.
No lay up status for Leylands yet as of now. -
SLBP like alot of spare VO3x already leh. With the recent transfers of VO3x batch 1 from BBDEP and many many unused VO3x batch 2 from HGDEP just sitting inside SLBP every day.
I forsee many redeployments coming.

The influx of VO3x will just keep continuing, since the rate at which they are laying up the VO2x is rather astonishing to say the least. I doubt there will be a problem of overcrowding for SLBP so far even with this many VO3x going in from BB & HG.
The VO3x actually has 2 uses, just depends on how the starter deploys. It could be to replace the VO2x, or replace LO3x. So the plentiful of SP VO3x it has now will be depleted quite fast. SLBP will be quite busy from now on.

That's true, but then i was thinking from the lifespan expiry point of view. The O405s then were alr reaching the max 19 years they could do on our roads, it was kind of a no choice thing since they need to off the roads anyway sooner or later since no more extension was possible?
But the VO2x now could have been extended all the way to its lifespan expiry for 2+ more years if they chose to.

I refer back to my earlier post, 9035S is spotted back on 58 today. Still alive and kicking.

SBS7275D (SLBP 257) is doing 252 today.
-
SBS7261T to SBS7269Y had been officially de-registered.
-
How many VO2xes as of now???
-
Are there any news about SBS7275D's de-registration?
-
21 December 2011 Update SBS9294K - SBS9301Z was extended till 28 December 2013. These buses were extended because they are recently booked to replace VO2X and LO3X. did SBS7289P - SBS7296T under laid-up?

SBS wants it to be FAC after June 2012, so it may cut off the addition of extension to 2 years. -

I think SBS7275D is the latest NAC bus to be extended as of now.
-
Are there any news of extensions? Because I cannot trust C151 039/040.
By the way, how do I check the extensions on One-Motoring?

Nope.
SBS9294K – SBS9301Z is indeed extended to 28 Dec 2013 as per what C151 039/040 said.
As for the VO2x, currently SBS7270S - SBS7274G, SBS7276B - SBS7286Y & SBS7288S are under lay-up. -
