And I'm sure Dan has mentioned in the past, as a result of that, the Omnicities can only be replaced on the 50 by vehicles of similar Euro rating - which basically means the Citaros can't replace them as they are only Euro5 (or Euro4).
South Tyneside did fund the upgrade to Euro 6, there is the option of robbing their engines, they aren't great buses and the comfort on the 50 is very poor. Given the fact only the City of Newcastle is 'capable' of attaining the carbon level promised , South Tyneside where on a whim with that one..
