User GusChong, SBS2662C - SBS2688D lifespan got extended? Cause now is 13 Feb 2014, the de-registration date of these batch of buses is 23 Feb 2014 which is next week,so these buses lifespan got extended? I never see SBS 2663A on 165 ,never see SBS 2666S on 112,never see SBS 2667P ON 107,so are they being laid up?
As of now none of the buses from this batch is extended...it's quite hard to say when will these buses receive lifespan extensions...

Not all buses are really considered laid up...nowdays it's hard to say whether SBS Transit buses is laid up except those from AMDEP/BRBP and some depots (but not all). SBS Transit don't even bother to go and apply for lay up for buses not in revenue service. Look at SBS1965K/SBS1988U/SBS9592A, it is considered a good example of such.

Oh okay, consider this as having already returned to perm training...but last time it is not on the roads for around half a year as mentioned by lemon1974...and I'm using this as an example.

Looks like another 20 Striders will be gone from HGDEP by end of this week.
