  As for SMRT I vote Dennis Lance,MBO405 Volgren,Hino HS3KRKA/MKII Hispano,Volgren and Hispano Habit for bendies..If they really wanna bring WAB Bendies then the MKI has to go...

  As for SBST what i can only guess is B10M DM3500/B10BLE CNG/VO 3X batch 2&3/Tridents for DDs

  Too early to judge... Lance might go off earlier due to lack of spare parts.

  Vo3x Batch 1 may survive... I think the only Vo3x B1 that survived on 2012 is the ones that are refurbished...

  I believe the Volvo B10Ms DMs and Striders will also live beyond 2012 too.

  Think the buses that will be gone by 2012 in the SBST fleet might be:

  - Mercedes Benz O405

  - Volvo B10M MK3

  - Dennis Dart

  - Volvo Olympian 2xes

  - Leyland Olympian 3xes

  But then, omg, the MK3s and some Leyland Olympians still feels new.

  Cummins spare parts are the easiest one to get even across the causeway.Some China buses also use Cummins..It just that the turbocharger wear frequently due to speed limiter.That's why several Lance they restrict to 70 instead of 60kmh.The one that costly is DAF parts.

  I heard from rumors that Lance are lacking of spare parts... And, I'm pretty sure that it's not the engine which is lacking of spare parts... Maybe the bodywork itself? Duple Metsec is already history...
