(15 Jun 2021, 11:53 am)Storx I'm not sure all the Versas are Euro 6. Don't think it was or wasn't confirmed they all got done, I certainly don't believe the 09 plates were ever done but I could be wrong there.


He's talking about it's not fixing anything and when everywhere does Euro 6 you'll get to a stage you can't just shift buses around to prop up an area. Why should Sunderland suffer because Newcastle decided they wanted a Euro 6 zone. What happens if Sunderland decide the same?

How exactly is Sunderland suffering? They’re still getting a return of the same number of buses being transferred out. Personally I think the Versa is a better bus than the streetlite.

Well having seen that the Coaster is getting Streetlites, I think I be using the 22 constantly in the future. Apparently 16/16A is going Double Decker.

I forgot the Coaster deckers were only Euro 5 - I wonder if the full batch will go to Consett for the 16/16A + spares.

Have you got the full list of changes?

16/16A are indeed getting double dockers. Rather busy services with a need to dupe especially around college times.

Sunderland are doubly suffering for the Newcastle CAZ, GNE and SNE transferring Euro 6 vehicles to the Newcastle area at the expense of Sunderland. Mind, Versas aren't as bad as those awful black smoke belching MAN E200s that have been dumped at the Wheatsheaf.

When it comes to emissions I was talking about there. They're just getting the older stock for the sake of LEZ zones in other areas which isn't the point of it. It's just a game of shifting things around. Blyth got hit by it aswell with the DB300 and Hybrid swap awhile back.

If Sunderland decide the same what happens, we start swapping with Consett? Then if Durham decide the same then what, time to cancel services? It's what the OP was about.

Interesting changes.

More might of been done since then but believe 10 of the 11 plates and all the 63 plates were upgraded to euro 6

Oops I missed "Consett" out... Consett Streetlites to Percy Main* - also it was just a summary of what had already been post on here - wasn't confirming anything.


So is the 39 keeping the Streetlites?

What I’ve put is correct from what I’ve seen mentioned
The Consett ones are likely to go on the Q1/Q2 - since there’s not enough of them to replace the B5Ls on the Coaster like for like
The bulk of the Deptford Streetlites will be off to Percy Main - likelihood is minimum of 14 Streetlites to Percy Main (Coaster is PVR 13 plus at least a spare) and the rest to Riverside as spares for the Q1/Q2 and the 49/49A

Interested to see the rest of the changes as there's still a few things unaccounted for atm namely:
  • The extra 5 Coaster deckers (the 16/16A only need 10 buses max).
  • The 19 allocation as it doesn't really have anything atm and there's not enough Little Coaster Solos anymore and it can't use deckers (poss more Streetlites but seems a waste?)
  • The 12/25/57/74/327 Euro 6 buses
  • Plans for the ex Red Kite Streetlites who still don't have a home - used on the X20 until recently.
  • The X20 Solos also don't have an allocation, possibly pushing out some of the Streetlites?
Don't think any of them have been mentioned.
