as for slatyford aswell im not suggesting removing vehicles from dedicated PVRs or that routes spares, but merely excess spares that end up getting used on other routes, ive seen E200s on a whole assortment of random routes the past year that they were totally unsuited to, i was merely suggesting maybe these excess ones get swapped for a bigger vehicle

Walkergate have eight E200s, half of which are now ex Shields E20D.

Slatyford too have eight, all of which need exchanging for Euro 6 vehicles, however that would leave Shields with only five. The 10/11 requires six, although 36961/3 have worked this weeks suggesting perhaps the 10/11 isn't Euro 6 critical now? The 516 certainly has seen more Euro 5 than 6 of late.
