Euro 6 credentials & road stripes being added to more buses

Not sure if this is the right place, but it looks like the social distancing window stickers are getting removed/replaced.
At least from 5453 as someone in a hi-viz came on and peeled them off!

Seems abit early, I've wondered what GNEs covid capacities actually are as I've seen the 50 get to the point where people had to sit backwards and as I've mentioned earlier I've had an 8 with the driver irresponsibly letting a standee on even though she acknowledged the bus was full

I know, that's why I think they may just be getting replaced, and just having someone go peel the old ones off when they're sitting at the interchange means they can get installed quicker tonight?

Numerous XLines vehicles now have the Euro 6 ‘leaf’ logo applied, replacing the original less noticeable ‘tree’ logo.

Have any of the Coaster streetlites had their environmental leaves applied yet?

Are the training school solars all due to be replaced in time for the CAZ or will the likes of a training school omnicity upgraded to euro6 be used for driver training in central Newcastle the solars kept for non city centre driving?

It might that they are kept away from Newcastle until Omnicitys or different buses are converted to Trainer Spec

omnicity's are very likely to go onto driver training as many of them had euro 6 upgrades.

nova347 · 04 Jul 2022, 4:16 pm,

Are any of the voyagers or the buses coming up from London being fitted with Euro 6 engines or any other buses that are getting upgraded in the fleet

If there's a lack of spare buses with the Euro 6 requirements would they go into Newcastle and GNE would pay the fine or would they terminate at Gateshead/Metro?

Do the leaves and extra road-stripes create desire? Are the leaves approved by the Ten Percent Club? Do the extra road-stripes provide titillation for all the GNE Fanboys and Girls? Have they exploited a new gap in their inane fandom, or has the commercial team finally ran out of steam?

Are the leaves approved by the Ten Percent Club? yes, it was their idea. Expect it to be rolled out across all members fleets and feature in a number of back patting tweets and PR opportunities
Do the extra road-stripes provide titillation for all the GNE Fanboys and Girls? quite possibly
Have they exploited a new gap in their inane fandom, no
or has the commercial team finally ran out of steam? not sure they ever had any steam to start with

Welp. I don't see what was ever wrong with the Red Kite mark idea. Least it was "local"
