Completely changed my reply:


How long do councils have to have to keep the buses in service after they receive the modification's?  


Wonder if the Citaro's at Riverside will receive them?... 36 Citaro's at Riverside for Gateshead and Newcastle 

Not sure on the South Tyne ones though...

Talking about all these handouts... 

This appeared in PT earlier this week.
