| Formerly SBS7196Z, C/N ON10486, this Walter Alexander bodied Leyland Olympian 2-axle received a new lease of life as YL8508R after being scrapped by SBST, having fulfilled 17 years of faithful service to the company. She was then converted by a local company into a mobile playground that rotates around the different primary schools in Singapore. This concept of a mobile playground was first implemented in Australia. On 5 Dec 2004, she made a maiden public appearance at the Padang in conjunction with the Standard Chartered Marathon. |
