Newcastle Clean Air Zone: services which need to be upgraded
Newcastle Clean Air Zone: services which need to be upgraded
(05 Oct 2021, 2:02 pm)Dan No. Arriva can't bid for Metro Replacement, the only operators that can are Go North East, Stagecoach and JH Coaches.I'm guessing Stagecoach won't is because I remember back In early 2020. Stagecoach got awarded a Metro replacement contract between Regent Centre and Heworth. Stagecoach put what of 6 buses while Stanley Travel and GNE had to give the rest out. Yet we're on hire to Stagecoach
Stagecoach have never bid for a Metro Replacement contract yet (presumably isn't worth the hassle to them), so it's only really out of Go North East and JH Coaches. As I said before, I'd imagine Nexus will specify that the Miscellaneous Works contracts from September 2022 must be Euro 6. All the buses operating these services currently (Volvo B7TL, Scania OmniDekka, Dennis Trident) can be upgraded to Euro 6.
