Only short term solution I could suggest which would be cheaper than new vehicles.......
- 7401-06 converted to Euro 6 and sent to Blyth.....only used on 43/44/45 or 306/308
- 6x E400 Classics (14/64/15) from Walkergate / Blyth to Ashington.........for use only on X20 or X21/X22
- 6x 72 plates E400MMCs to Whitby / Redcar for X93/X94
Surely if Arriva aren't in a position to invest, £20k a pop for a Euro 6 conversion will be cheaper than more new vehicles at £200k a pop.
