Volvo B9TL

SBS 7479 H on sv 161 (NEW)

I must say that some B9TLs turned up at very odd places.
One was on service 10 while another one appeared on Service 107. The most shocking part was when I saw a Merc 0405G Volgren Bendy at Shenton Way.

spotted a few more brand new B9TLs in AMDEP today..
saw 7475/7468.. i think 7494/7497 are also there..
btw, there is no more B9TLs on lay up status.
SBST have paid roadtax for those balance B9 and all have been out from the lay up status. so we shall see these balance B9TL very soon.. it is anybody guess on which service they are going... -
Who says BRBP won't get the B9TLs for S143? Don't underestimate BRBP, although it is just a bus park. Any B9TLs from other depots come down to BRBP for maintanance, FYI. I've spotted B9TLs from other depot inside BRBP workshop. I once saw a B9TL chassis.Originally posted by BusSpeeder:for 143, if there were B9TL, it will come from SLBP. most likely BRBP will not hold any B9TL for now unless its cameo. if in the case that 143 will be controlled by AMDEP and SLBP..... AMDEP will deploy alot more B9TLs and..... 143 will be WAB service soon enough. -
Those technical staffs repairing B9TLs in bram are not SBST staff, they are ComfortDelgro Engineering staff, ComfortDelgro is responsible for repairing Volvo buses in Singapore under warranty. So if you are SBST and you need CDGE staff to repair, you need to have some transaction between the two companies.Originally posted by sbs&tibs:Who says BRBP won't get the B9TLs for S143?

accordingly to one motoring website, the lifespan of those B9TLs on lay up status start on the date of their registration (i.e 26 /27/28 sept 2006).
So for most of the B9TLs, their lifespan have shorten by a few months by the time they hit the roads. -
Hi everyone, took Svc 143 [SBS 7462E] yesterday afternoon (Sat) for a ride from Jurong East to Orchard Road. It was a wonderful and silent ride! The engine was quite powerful and acceleration was effortless. Of course, the VO's and LO's have a more powerful brunt!
I guess, if the driver had driven a little harder......it may be even faster.
-
not only that ! Many girls whom i saw on friendster also like to take pics on B9TL as well !Originally posted by TIB1049L:That shows that B9TL is as good as home -
Btw, did you all know that Svc 88 is operating one B9TL? I saw it at Toa Payoh central....the wheels look really shiny...didn't catch the rego though.

anyway 7491/7492 are also in AMDEP
so 7485/7489/7491/7492/7493/7498 are all there, and 7496 spotted on SV 88 today.. seem like these are going to SV 88 as well.
seem like all the balance B9 are going to AM/BR..
what abt 7480/7482? it seem like that their roadtax have been paid since mid of May and no one see them yet? 7476/7478/7479/7468/7475/7494/7497 were reregisterd much later and were on the road alrd.. -

lots of new AMDEP B9TLs nifo -
7493 is out on svc 88 today.

7480 and 7482 are slbp buses. I believe the last batch of B9 have arrived in amdep for deployment on 88. Now we're just waiting for them to appear on the roads. As you know once amdep release a B9, it is highly likely to have a perm service i.e. not SP unless not enough SP B9Originally posted by lemon1974:anyway 7491/7492 are also in AMDEP

SBS 7476 R and SBS 7479 H with sv 161 sticker. Should be the same for SBS 7478 K.

So means to say the ARBP will have no B9TL?
The arbp indian BC of 65 once told me in January that arbp 65 drivers have apparently undergone WAB training and 65 will have B9TL on the arbp side somewhere in March/April. looks like arbp aint gonna get its share of B9TLs

but dunno where is 7480/7482 right now, might be reserve for 143?Originally posted by service_238:7480 and 7482 are slbp buses.

anyway, 7491/7492 and a few other B9 are gone from AMDEP today. Was there still last night. Spotted several B9 parking inside BRBP today at the SV 88 parking area. guess they have alrd transferred these B9 to BRBP. might be seeing them tomorrow?

SV 25 BCs also undergo training mah like someone have say.
SV 197 BCs also undergo training mah..
