If all this DDs being 2 axle buses can run perfectly well with their AC units without any problems there,i dont see why sbst dont want to or cant do the same here too.. =.=
7204 and 7251 didn't get airconditioning there, they are non airconditioned buses with hopper windows instead of sliding windows. -

Alrite thanks for the info..Was mistook that the buses are fitted with ac there since they are with hopper windows instead of the standard sliding windows for NAC buses. -

976K initially was a 70/549 permer. If I am not wrong 1986A went to take over 70/549 slot when 8748A came in to replace 976K for 70's WAB implementation. 891X came in only when 1986A lifespan ended.
Also wondering which bus has been running on 549 ever since 891X went mia.
I believe 2625K should be out from 70 now and again need to keep a lookout of which replacement. These days had been seeing different cameos.

Hi, does anyone have a front panel picture of a SMRT MAN A22? Plus possibly a side view (doors and non doors)? (HD Picture) The picture should not be tilted as I need it to make a repaint for the MAN Lion's City DD on OMSI. Thanks.
Note: you may insert your logo but don't block the front -
How are deployments for SMRT Private Lances determined? Is it by observation or do the buses have some sort of deployment identification (like perm sticker etc)? Because what I see is random PA Lances doing the shuttles daily, doesn't seem to have any fixed buses. Also why PA639M is not deployed to any chartered service? I have seen it on Ikea Tampines Shuttle from Sengkang twice already.

One of the former O405s for Sengkang IKEA svc was supposed to be a svc 966 perm... MIA and haven't heard of the O405s. Always seen this 3-digit PA Lance doing the Sengkang shuttle now.

Those two VO2X were sold as is to London as NACs. The climate there different from ours, so their buses is fitted with near full glass windows + hopper window for ventiliation. The stock 2 axles double decker also NACs for most of them.
The rear window for the 2 VO2X still present, not refitted with aircon.
SBST one, simple. Not very cost effective to CAC a double decker bus which is probably reaching EOL in another 7 years or so or whenever the first aircon 2 axle DD came out). basically, keep them running as NACs while replacing them in the future with new 3 axle double decker buses It's not like back then the O405s or Scania N113 liddat still have quite long lifespan if i remember right. -

That is not the answer for what SBS6238T wanted anyways
INFO FROM SGWIKI~
Introduced on 20th Feburary 1983, this service originally plied between temporary Tampines Terminus at Avenue 5 and loop at Tomlinson Road via Simei Avenue and PIE.
Amended to loop at Rochor Canal Road in 1990 due to MRT Rationalisation.
Amended to ply between Tampines Ave 5/1 and Bedok North Rd when Temasek Polytechnic opened in 1990. -
I was taking to jlowbog, which I thought he was posting his own personal stuff and not replying to anyone. I didn't see SBS6238T's post up there. Please don't anyhow accuse me.

Thats the "answer" in my post referring to if you have read more carefully because I can't quote both posts. -

Thats what i'm thinking since 9229A, 9241M, 9255Z, 9294K are going off soon... Probably they are going off, thats why only SBS3090X has ad in the whole fleet... Pathetic...

Come to think of it might as well deploy them to services 43, 87, 161 etc and add some spice to the fleet.

yes ! is also quite nice to take this dennis trident on expressway SLE/TPE on 161 just like dennis trident on sv 89 as also 161 too much VO3X BATCH 1 already right ?
