Chronology

This style was originally built for Singapore Bus Services, but Stagecoach Group is also a big user of the type, many examples having been purchased for use in the UK. Many FirstGroup examples have been scrapped, but buses previously with Stagecoach have fared better, with many of the latter leading new lives as school buses with smaller independent operators in Great Britain, and many have been sold to private owners to be preserved. Preserved PS types include first in kind G601 NWA with G605 NWA, H622 ACK, H651 THL, L622 TDY, N215 TDU, N94 OGG and N767 CKY. The body was also sold in Hong Kong, for Kowloon Motor Bus and Stagecoach Hong Kong.
