With Nexus cost-cutting a lot as of late, I do wonder what the contract specification will be next year... I'm tempted to suggest they'd be happy with Go North East keeping the Versas on there.
I'd be very surprised. It's no secret that the entire public sector is massively slashing their budgets, but the trend since circa 2010 has been that the public sector always want more for less. You see it on the OJEC all the time.
The current craze is Euro 6, and Quaylink is Nexus' baby. I can't see the requirement being any less than than either a Euro 6, or Euro 5 Hybrid at a push. Something that they can shout about in a press conference.
