In those day, that was really the Superbus indeed.
Time just went by like that. Cant believe its 19 years already.
Yeah, the unique lower deck of the LO3xs that differ so much from the VO3xs with the unique A/C placement ducts.
Btw, what is that thing above the lower deck seats? (The wire mesh thing above the first few seats after the rear door on both left & right side) That's the A/C compressor uh? I kinda lost track of what that was, oops. -

Ya. My first trip on was on 9011 on sv143 when it was launched . That time sit upper deck. Really excited that time.
These lo3x does not really look like they are already 19 years already. Will try to take few more this two weeks. Think they will be gone from AMDEP n brbp by end march
-
At that time, people were really excited when buses like the B10M MKIII came.
Because that was really a bulk purchase of AIRCON buses. Same reason why the arrival of the LO3X was very exciting to everyone. First time we had AC DD. And at that time, tri-axle buses were a really novel thing on the SG road.
Fast forward 20 years later, this is something many people take for granted today. Right to the point of calling the MKIII ugly and crappy.

Leyland always catch fire!!! Faster send to scrapyard better!!!

6.07pm.
Loud sound? is it the "fart" brakes?
btw, usually on Saturdays, there's only one Leyland running in Singapore, SBS9165A on 255. If lucky, then others will also run like SBS9171G and SBS9192X like last week... -

Few years later, people will call Citaro ugly and crappy..

Does anyone have any times/sightings for 9168S? There looks like a few obvious non WAB duties on the 154, eg 0641 from Boon Lay and then 0851 from Eunos and another at 0655 from Boon Lay and 0907 back from Eunos but then there are no non-WAB 154 departures from Eunos after the 0907 until 1057, then 1148, then 1239 and then none until 1452 when non WAB departures get more frequent. It's too long a route to spend hours just looking for 9168 and it's the only bus that operates the 154 that I'm interested in.

Does it then leave empty, there is a 1702 non WAB from Boon Lay, due to pass Whitley Road at around 1820 and reach Eunos at 1904 but then there isn't another non WAB departure from Eunos until 1942. -
