Hi to all bus fans in Singapore Buses Forum. I am from Hampshire, UK. Here is a piece of news like to share.

The prototype Wright B9TL is now on its way to Singapore. It has been delayed due to some issues that need to be tweaked. The delivery of the bodykits are also delayed. For the production model, I have heard that so far only one production model has completed its bodywork building in Singapore, which is way behind schedule. At this rate, the 150 vehicles would not be able to be in service by the end of the year.

That's great! We would have more time to ride the leylands that would be replaced by this bus!
