History Of Double Deckers:
The double-deckers first began in 1977 when 20 LA were shipped in to Singapore. Some of them were bodied by BACO and they were put on route 86, a semi express route connecting from Tampines to the CBD area.
35 Years of Leyland Double deck history, 35 years of double deck history.
We have the new Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 on the roads and we'll be seeing another 550 of them by 2015.
I shall join this club (I like bendies but I also like double deckers )

Well, many of us liking bendies doesn't mean we dread double deckers
Starting with the LO3X!:
The successor VO3X:
Something is odd here...

LO3X- The speed and Leyland History!
VO3X- I only like SBS9222T and its yellow handgrips!
Dennis Trident- A HK-style bus in SG(doors closing with chinese characters)!
B10TL- The design, especially the yellow poles together with the purple handgrips and the nice doors closing chime!
WEG2- The exterior design and the interior design. The Batch 2Bs have to be driven faster though... My favourite is Batch 2A due to voith+adequate speed:D! Sadly I've only taken one Batch 2A WEG2, on service 51 at Queensway towards Jurong East...

Batch 2B needs tremendous / thorough training to be driven perfectly like those on 166(except 3081Y)

LO3X, their speed, like no limit.
VO3X, their unique refurbished ducts
Tridents, good HP and good aircon, just average
B10TL - Cold Aircon! Nice vibration! Soundless on upper deck! Moves smoothly! 9808D got cheese balls smell when permed 76 on upper deck!
B9TL WEG2 - Fast, cold aircon, batch 2B does not tick more frequently
