They are 05' plates, so a replacement would only be like 2 years younger.

DFDS buses tend to be the oldest in the fleet, however with the LEZ coming soon to Newcastle, these vehicles would be the logical choice, they're long wheelbase, and IIRC have a second buggy bay that can be converted to a luggage bay so no loss of normal seats.

They're currently Euro 4, but presumably since GNE already have plenty of Euro 6 B9s, it wouldn't be too difficult to get them modified

GNE only has like 2 or 3 of the Ex Lothian Geminis as others got sent back.
I would think they would get sent to Consett for Scholars as that is where they have been since Arrival.
I personally love these over the Ex London B7TL's

All 6 as mentioned by Dan have be brought. They are no doubt being refurbished before being put back into service.

Assuming it's the same six we had, I hazard the guess these are the fleetnumbers
6177 SN57 DFJ (9056)
6178 SN57 DFP (9057)
6179 SN57 DFU (9058)
6180 SN57 DFV (9059)
6181 SN57 DFX (9060)
6182 SN57 DFY (9061)

They are Euro 4, if they were upgraded to Euro 6 would it make money wise a efficent choice.
