994 995 996 2611 and maybe a few more have already been removed from service.
2630 2631 2632 2635 2636 2642 2643 2644 all gone case...think BNDEP and CGBP may have already also laid up all the May batches of Striders.
SBS2641M has been decomposed by now.

Uh, I don't think so..I still see 2615P 2616L 2626H still running on the roads today..
2614S 2618G 2619D were running as of yesterday too~
Probably you won't see them from next Mon onwards for BN/CG Striders bah.

By then there will only be 9 Striders left...then the DM3500s will also face early retirement.

Still quite a fair bit to go for the DM3500s uh. Except for 2750G, the rest are only going from Mar 2016 onwards..
Unless they decide to pull out those with ridiculously high mileage way before they even hit the 17 years lifespan~
Now only left with 9 Striders...hurry up!
Just for some update:
SBS2653D
(BNDEP 518/518A) (Awaiting de-reg)
Disappeared off the roads since about 2 weeks ago. Parked in BNDEP along the fence beside the road, with a 'Do Not Deploy' paper pasted on the windscreen.
My source told me that the bus broke down some time ago, and BNDEP decided not to repair it anymore. Left to rot till its expiry in August.
Replacement on Sv 518/518A is 2813J.
BNDEP / CGBP now left with 1 sole remaining Strider: 2645C (CG 3).
Idk if it's still on the roads this week though, haven't seen it yet.

2653 has been there for quite awhile now like since last month when I was joyriding on 17.. Such a pity.

Hmm, I'm kinda sure it only disappeared for good since 2 weeks ago though. Maybe when you saw it, it was just there parking normally. Because alot of us still saw it on 518 & 518A at the start of June. But yeah, it's now rotting till its expiry, quite a waste actually.
I would have loved to see it run on 518 till its expiry (like 2626H did).

Ahhh, that's good to hear. Hopefully it doesn't break down anytime before August comes..otherwise it'll surely be in a similar situation like 2653D is now.
Post removed. Come back again sometimes.

Yes, and it's still on Sv 3A duties as usual this evening.
According to wiki:
2646A (ARBP 48 -> BBDEP SP)
2648U (ARBP 48)
not sure if this is accurate but i spotted both the buses on 48 on saturday, the longest serving perm on 48 is gone

I'm kinda sure 2648U is SP already by now given its trend of cameoing around in the past 2 months..As for 2646A, i reserve my judgement for that.
It's time to say goodbye to the Striders after today.
Let's not forget the sole 2750G going off in Sep of this year (next month).
After 2750G, the next batch of DM3500s go off only in Mar next year.
so 2750G deregged yest alr??
Forget to post that SBS2755T is deregistered here...any other MK4s down early?
All the remaining MK4s due to de-register this year are gone case; except for SBS2754X, SBS2758K, SBS2770Z, SBS2777E, SBS2783L and SBS2784J.
SBS2770Z SBS2784J SBS2790R SBS2791M now gone case...
