(23 Dec 2019, 10:06 pm)Youngymmv Forgive my ignorance but do all services from slatyford and walkergate actually go into Newcastle city centre where the LEZ is. Can’t see them making sure every bus in depots meet the criteria if they don’t need to be. like South Shields only using certain buses on 10/11 as contract specific engine requirements.
Kind regards
Chris

Teesside's NSA have all routes except Prior Pursglove stuff and Hartlepool. The Newcastle ones have just the 39/40 in at present, but when time permits other routes will be added.
In relation the LEZ stuff from December thread; 12061-86, 19641-47 and 19670-83 are now Euro 6 ready.
(02 Jan 2020, 3:38 pm)Youngymmv I think they should be looking at ousting all the 08/58/09 man E200s across the division as none of them will be getting the Cummins euro 6 modifications.
It would make sense for Newcastle to send Hartlepool 39723 - 39729 in exchange for 36461 - 36467 which can receive the modifications. Aswell as 39730 - 39732 to Sunderland in exchange for 3x 369 Enviro 200s.

(01 Jan 2020, 2:33 pm)Michael I'm hoping the X24 will get new buses at some point, the current Omnilinks are 13 years old, and are struggling.

(05 Jan 2020, 10:23 am)AIG20 Both 24002 and 24003 appear to have been off the road for a few weeks, with an ADL E400 and Gas Bus being used instead.
They are obviously knackered, very unreliable and need to be replaced. I bet they must be a nightmare for the engineers.
However, I have never seen these buses off route (on another service).
