(04 Apr 2016, 3:25 pm)Dan 9104 is to be returned to Optare tomorrow.

9105 has not yet been returned to Optare (contrary to what Go North East's fleet news suggested), and I understand this bus will temporarily take the place of 9104 on the ASDA contract.

Oh another trip to byker asda
Will 9105 be on tommorow

It should be, yes.

Guess I was lucky in getting it popping through one of the holes in Byker Wall today then.

Will prob get 9105 later in the week though.

Apologies if this has already been asked, but do 667-680 have Euro 5 or Euro 6 engine's?

I don't think they are available with EURO 6 engines

They are i think - mainly because i am under the impression that the Durham Park & Ride SRs are Euro 6?

Solo page on Optare website confirms that a Euro 6 option is available:

9104 is Euro 6, too.

I didn't know that, interesting as the Streetdecks are Euro 6 I am slightly surprised that GNE didn't opt for Euro 6

Believe them Solo SR's on Durham P&R are Euro 6 as the contract specifies that Euro 6 buses should be used.

Aren't Euro 6 vehicle's more expensive?
