Most are done for Newcastle CAZ. the omnicities were I think founded by South Tyneside council

Are 27723 - 27725 and Stocktons ADL E300s getting a Euro 6 upgrade as well?
I wonder if there is anything planned for 27726-40 as they have received a Euro 6 upgrade? Stagecoach seem to be in a rush to get them all repainted when there are several other buses with outdated branding / that have never had a repaint yet, and Sunderland City Council haven't yet announced any plans for a clean air / low emissions zone. Maybe, if Stagecoach cannot find a replacement for the MAN ALX300s at Slatyford by the time the Newcastle clean air / low emissions zone comes into effect could 27726-40 be transferred there with Sunderland getting the MAN ALX300s?

(03 Oct 2020, 4:42 pm)Dans_bus_photos I thought myself that the E300s might be leaving Sunderland with them being repainted so quickly. Could Sunderland be in line for some new vehicles possibly? I know the new vehicle order had been scaled back but them ALX300s are in desperate need of replacement soon, they must be some of the oldest single deckers left in the whole Stagecoach fleet.

(03 Oct 2020, 6:00 pm)Storx Don't they serve the E buses mainly? If so could be part of the South Tyneside funding, the 5/50 got done as part of it and they don't run anywhere near Newcastle. Just assumptions there though.

£50-a-day Newcastle clean air tolls will NOT happen in January as council finally confirms delay

We knew this would happen, but least its confirmed.
I couldn't find the thread about the clean air zone... so if a mod can, please move it over.

Here’s an update on GNE’s 6064

It was mentioned on BBC Look North this afternoon that the Newcastle Clean Air / Low Emissions Zone will now be launching later this year.
Will Stagecoach be upgrading the exhausts on the remaining MAN ALX300s and older ADL E400s at Walkergate and Slatyford, or will the vehicles be swapped around assuming no new buses are on order?
The owners of any bus that does not meet the clean air / low emissions requirements will be charged which I assume is what all bus companies want to avoid.
