Indeed, 1372 (as has only been discovered since they arrived from Liverpool) is the only one of the 30 that hasn’t had the Euro6 modifications, hence why it spent a day or two at Stockton and was then quickly swapped for 1374.
Thanks for that, had a feeling it might have been some technicality for the move.
Interesting for 1372, wonder if they knew about it in Merseyside or whether they were breaking their contracts down there for years. Believe anything subsidised in the city has to be E6 and newer than 10 year old.
It's a shame the North East don't do the same to force certain operators to get arid of their junk, as most of the decent independents wouldn't be affected by it.

1372 got swapped for 1370 because 1372 wasn’t Euro6 then a few weeks later 1374 came to swap with 1438 no idea why we had 1438 in the first place

Are the speculation true about the x93/4 becoming all mmc next year. If so are they being given a similar livery to the x4s
What is the situations with 4701 surely that must be getting withdrawn soon

You say that but Arriva do have a habit of keeping one last member of a batch on the go for a while after the rest have gone - pretty sure Redcar kept an Optare Prisma on the go for two years after the rest of them were withdrawn so you never know!

4701 is staying active until it has an uneconomical repair or test runs out, whichever comes first. It’s the dedicated vehicle for the X3A
