Oh wow didnt knew this existed, nice video about the bus
You are lucky to sit in its driver cab. And really nice SG vibes in there. If this was to hit SG roads it could haven been registered as SG4xxxx and as a Enviro 500 3 door demo unit. Nice vid!
0:27 a bit of damage near the back of the bus 5:28 OLD fire engine
Thanks! It's not coming to sg though
i love alexander dennis. hope the enviro500ev that hong kong got will make it to sg.
Wow. Twin staircase, triple door. That’s actually awesome.
Nice tour of one of those Singapore Enviro 500 buses. I think the Belfast Glider should have had these instead of the VanHool Exqui buses we've got. You get more seats and there is about the same standing room.
I've actually always wanted to try out the Belfast glider to be honest! I will at some point...
maybe a bi-articulated bus is needed instead of articulated, provides space for over 200 people in one bus
wow interesting i had always thought the showcase mockup was the demo and paved the way for the other 50 units. Im curious i know singapore buses have a lifespan of only 17 years, those 50 in sg are likely to be scrapped when their time comes, not sure abt this prototype. I bet it will be "preserved", if so it would be ironically consider this is the first "prototype bus" to be built and could be the only one left in the future lol😅 Edit: 4:46 the upper deck of that adl bus rlly reminds me of the sg yutong e12dd upper floor as well
It might very well be the last one standing if adl decides to keep a hold of it
Ur correct about the E500 E Door to be scrapped, not just because of its lifespan, its because its not electric, i wish LTA would make it electric instead of diesel, it looks so good
Great Video :)
Thanks!
@@glitchFan2428 You Welcome Keep up more content :)
An additional E500 3D2S unit is not meant for shipping to SG, even though we already have 50 units in the roads.
Good point
Knew it would be the demonstrator. We haven't seen the Enviro500 3D2S demonstrator since the Our Bus Carnival in 2016, while the Man A95 3D2S Demonstrator is SG5999Z on Service 7
This is a completely different unit from the one in the Carnival, the specs for this unit is totally different. The mock-up bus from the carnival is still sitting at LTA HQ. This unit is a prototype unit for the finalised production batch.
@@tsemunhoi1568 oh sorry I didn't know, but where can we find the one from the Carnival?
@@teocwtechplay23 if I'm not wrong it's still at LTA HQ
Rotting somewhere in SG I think
@@Pingu_AnySupport yea most likely💀
ADL really committed a lot of resource to just getting 50 buses right, even though they know there won't be an option or further diesel order from LTA. They had to be thinking much further down the road with Singapore's future market to spend this kind of money.
They are open to building more units for another operator, but are mainly targeting the eastern market.
@@glitchFan2428 I don't see which market would be willing to take 3-door diesel DD design other than Singapore. The only route open to ADL right now is a hybrid or full electric version.
@@sgbuses hmm the only markets I can think of are HK and NZ. Then again double deckers are supposedly quite rare in NZ?
@@glitchFan2428 They run on main, express routes in Auckland. They are also rather long distance, so there isn't a need for 3 doors. Due to strange weight regulations they have 3-axle SDs and have some custom build for that market.
@@sgbuses I see 👍🏻
Wah even the fire truck at the last part Singapore also used to have
Why ur user is ripb7rle when it havent died yet
Maybe you should see and visit the preserved SBST Leyland (SBS 9168S) in UK (idk if it still alive)
It is being preserved by a bus enthusiast in the UK
@@psgistheworstclubineuropeIm not sure if it still exists. It has been SORN and not had its MOT renewed since 2017.
I think Asians' Enviros looks much better than the UK's
My guy they look the same
@@leylandtitanboy Exactly, our Enviro 500 looks like UK MMCs.
I don't think LTA Singapore wants to order another 50 units Enviro500 3D2S Buses as a Batch 2 unit's because Singapore already stopped ordering diesel buses. If they ordered a Batch 2 Enviro500 3D2S in SG, it would become Enviro500 3D2S electric buses eventually...
I guess one can wish 😂 tho electric is probably the future anyway... Unless they can get hydrogen going hard enough...
@@PrograError Unlikely as they would not want to empty their pockets over a hydrogen fuelling station.
Did this E500 get shipped over to Singapore 🇸🇬 or is it still a prototype bus
It's being preserved in England as a demonstration vehicle
I also see dennis dart nwfb in uk
Maybe thats why it sounds like a Citaro because of the Mercedes Benz Engine..
Why this bus don't get to LTA's service to? Just changing some of features just as same as the production batch (or be a demo bus). Too sad for a bus that still standing there in the warehouse😢
i was wondering if this will ever be shipped to SG…
I doubt so. This served it's purpose as a demo unit for Singapore, so it doesn't need to go there
Looks like the 50 units on Singapore roads
Yes
Imagine if that eds was working and show sg bus stop and routes😂
And the bus plate placed at the front window a bit sus.
I asked, there's no SG data in the display. The 69 plate belongs to me
They have been in London for ages
Enviro500 (3-Door) 12.5m Prototype bus in United Kingdom (Second Batch Enviro500 (3-Door) 12.5m (UK) Registered as SG6383T)
Not registered
@@glitchFan2428 ok
That was weird to be honest, and yes there route 69 on it at 2:41
I can't see this hitting UK roads other than for First Bus Group as they have Transbus E500's
A worthy replacement. Although they did say that it's targeted at the Asian market so I don't think it'll be on UK roads soon
way better too, dont need to be searched for the lta's ip as well.
It's service 69 lol
I wish London had E500s instead of E400s. They have higher capacity and way better engine sounds.
That would be nice however I'm not sure if they will fit in the streets of London. Then again the bendy buses did so.. hmm..
Singapore bus 800 new bus with two doors bus and window looks like a 90' bus
Byd k9rc bus
🙏 'Promo SM'
Cool 69
The bun need help
The bus needs help
0:01 69

That's the actual route they chose to deploy the bus on in Singapore 😅
yoooooooooo
