6149-6161 will more than likely end up at Riverside for the 6's as they due to be converted to Euro 6 ahead of the low emission zone being introduced in Newcastle.

Could they not be in line (alongside 6118-21) to replace the B5LHs on the Coaster?

I don't use it too much nowadays, but I think the X21 NSAs have been off since the Tindale Crescent extension?

What is the PVR of the 6?

PVR of the 6 is 4.

It also works with the X30 on an evening so unlikely to be the new home of at least some of those B9s.

(29 Aug 2019, 6:18 am)streetdeckfan wrote Yes, that's correct. They also still haven't updated the app with the new stops in Tindale, and the southbound buses still don't show on the tracker.

54 doesn’t show on the map tracker either, but does show on the bus stops.

6085 is getting some emission modifications, along with the other fab 56s, wonder when they will get a fresh coat of paint

East Yorkshire have 19 ADL MMC 400s on the way. I doubt they need 4 more Gemini 2s. This comes up often and I don’t see why considering GNE need to get rid of the Solars and have plenty of older Deckers that could do with being replaced.
