9177R is on Sv 59 today (06 Feb) as well. I'm not sure if it's on the same slot today though, but the trend continues that it's still stuck on Sv 59.
But no perm stix on 9177R in any case, so should be a temp stop-gap for any Sv59 permer MIA.

So I guess you managed to pong it since the bus in front is still 7724A?
The Malay BC that drove 9177R that day I boarded remarked to another uncle that the bus was easy to drive on the straights (CGV - Loyang sector for eg), he only hates it when he has to do massive cornerning (the heavy-weighted steering wheel). He compared turning that LO3x to repeated gym workouts. HAHA.

HAHA yeah I miss 9181C too. Oh well, what do you expect from 9177R, a bus that is barely surviving before it's gone completely?
The gearbox is kinda screwed alr in my opinion. At least the A/C is still working fine! -

The Leyland Olympian 3 axles is the first ever air-conditioned double decker bus type to be in service with Singapore Bus Service (now SBS Transit). It was initially known as "Superbus" for its impressive 12m length before the company name change. Come 26th April 2013, this model will be completely retired.

Today very lucky. Took 9170 n 9180 by chance. Did not purposely go look for the timing.

Bye LO....it really feels like only yesterday when I sat wide-eyed on the lower deck of the new-new LO for the first time back in 1993/4 on 31.
In those day, that was really the Superbus indeed.
Time just went by like that. Cant believe its 19 years already.
