Past bus routes and deployment (Part 2)

Absolutely right there. 901 received NAC 0405s in 1995. Absolutely awesome modern buses in their day.Before that, the most modern bus that I wanted to take so badly was the Hispano DAFs.......which were mostly in Yishun, not Woodlands. Woodlands mostly had Nissans. The sliding rear door struck me as rather archaic although I admit that I've also missed that since the phasing out of the NAC Nissans.
Unfortunately all of the Hispano DAFs had been de-registered.

110% sure.
Because I moved to Woodlands in 1994 and had to leave my VO2X behind........and face the Hinos on 901. Major downgrade.
If you have time you can still take VO2X on those Jurong Industrial Services.

Oops.
I think I got it wrong.
901 and 900 at least, received NAC 0405s in 1994. They were amongst the first to get 0405s.
As for VO2X, I was reunited with them once I shifted to Hougang. Along with the 0305s......which I didn't like as much. The VO2X is very smooth in comparison and far less noisy. Indeed 74 was the last cross-country service to retain VO2X till last year...although it was with mixed feelings that I bade the VO2X goodbye again

This feeder was the first FAC feeder that SBST ever had in the late 90s. If I remembered correctly 371 had full MK3 fleet, 621J was one of the perms.Not sure if any CAC MK2s were perm 371 before

How do you explain the CRBs appearing on this route? Before all that hysteria on photo taking came about, Anthony Lui snapped 3639 on 226 @ BDK Int. AFAIK, the CRB (aka Queen of the SBS Fleet) was mainly based @ BN. -

Maybe the MK2s on 226 comes from HGDEP.
