Ask TIB1218R as there is only one Leyland running on Saturdays. But I do know TPY and Bishan are great places to catch them... during weekdays.
Is SBS9192X still on service as of today?
Today got 1 L03X on 88.
Pls tell me is 9192x or 9171G or 9198E running on Saturdays?

The real final days of the Leyland Olympians...

With about less than a month left, ON21080 aka SBS9168S - the last Leyland bus chassis ever built prepares to depart Boon Lay Interchange on service 154.
This bus is now in fresh corporate colours with its previous advertisement removed just recently, and is expected to be in this state until the end of lifespan.
SBS9168S will reach the end of its 19 years extended lifespan on 22 Mar 2013.
The last Leyland Olympian chassis ever built - ON21080 (SBS9168S) will likely have 3 routes after its lifespan ends on 22nd March 2013
1) Preservation by an overseas bus preservation society (or something similar)
2) Semi-preserved locally like the National Youth Council's "The Red Bus" Leyland Olympian 2 axles which was converted into an office building (as it was the first unit to be brought into service (?)), or that ex SBS Volvo Olympian 2 axles in Temasek Junior College converted into a lounge.
3) The meeting of its end by being scrapped.
