  On the other hand, 9332J should still be alive because its ad contract is not up yet AFAIK.
  
  9334D should still be alive too cause SLBP is already having a shortage of buses, they would be crazy to kill this VO3x so early.

  
  yes

  9334 was on 179 2 days ago

  Are there any chance for LO3X, VO2X and VO3X preservation? In Singapore also?

  LOL, I know how to check on OneMotoring ya, in case you forgot I taught you how to search on there.  
  If you didn't get what I meant, the OneMotoring portal might show the bus as deregistered because 11 March was their due lifespan expiry date before any last minute extension. Happened to the first few SMRT MB O405s too in case you forgot, but turned out those MB O405s are still on the roads after their last-min extension. So I was just saying the buses might not be taken off the roads as said on the portal because the extension is not reflected.
  But oh well, I need some people to verify if they still saw those bunch of VO3x on the roads or not. Otherwise they are really goners.

  no need to teach those new guys how to check on OM... they are really abusing the system.... lesser ppl know is the best..

  They deregistered these Volvo Olympians but not the Leylands first.

  Weird.

  Weird.

  The main problems are whether there are faulty mechanical parts in the 2 de-registered Olympians, otherwise SBS9341H shouldn't be laid-up and gone just like that.
