  I think it is 9052 on Svc 154. I sat lower deck rear, there is very strong smell of carbon monoxide. For the whole journey, I feel giddy. :S

  Viking is not by Leyland, but Albion.

  Well, does Asok Leyland comes under Leyland as well?

  I remembered that there was an Asok Leyland Comet under SBS in the 70s and 80s.

  Carbon monoxide is odourless. That's how it kills.

  My 1st LO3X ride is on 147, SBS9101J, with Coca-Cola ad. And at that point of time, it was the 1st few Superbuses with advertisement.

  Cheers.

  I missed Victory too, always took it from Changi Airport to Toa Payoh on 149 when young.

  Cheers.

  It's partially right because Leyland had bought Albion Motors and they have shared technology. So there were Albion products using Leyland engines and Albion axles appearing on Leyland products. Same case for the Victory, which was actually a product of Guy Motors but since Leyland had bought over the company, the buses carry the Leyland brand.

  Thanks for the insight.

  SBS had a few Austin and Bedford buses before. Do they came under the Leyland branding as well?
