  Check SBS Transit website for press releases in July 2014. An order for 665 buses had been placed, 250 being Citaros and 415 being Wrights.

  maybe this batch, the wrights use 4xxx while the citaros use 7xxx (ex-VO2x, which i doubt so since 7xxx is DDs)?

  I am rather inclined to think that Citaros can use 1000-series, 2000-series or just use up the whole of 6000-series (since there are 1000 Citaros in all).

  Suspect 6546 will be a Batch 3 Citaro.

  Spot on. Actually, BB/AR & BN/CG are doing the same too. Just that instead of hoarding Citaros as SPs, they're hoarding the Wrights instead. I foresee some possible SD-to-DD slot conversions soon when the DM3500s and remaining Striders go off~

  BN/CG have been consistently using the SP Wrights to replace quite alot of MIA SDs on SD slots on their services in recent weeks though~ (instead of using the Wrights to replace DD slots mostly). talk about excess capacity. Haha.

  I guess the Citaros will use Voith while the Wrights will use ZF

  At this stage, most likely it is still under Batch 2 since SBS Transit mentioned that Batch 3 will only be delivered starting from mid-2015...
