On a more serious note - how is it "unbelievable"? Normal customers won't know the difference between a Euro 5 and a Euro 6 bus - it's the internal specification of the vehicle that they will care about! I understand that the difference in cost between the two different models isn't massive, but Euro 5 examples can notably be manufactured a lot quicker than Euro 6 examples.
Yes, Most will not see the difference but from a personal point of view if this is yet another Euro 5 order ( Streetdecks are only Euro 6 ) is pushing the boundary's ( Resembling Arriva )
Some bus company's ( First, Stagecoach , and Trent Barton for their B8RLEs ) had a majority Euro 6 order LAST YEAR and will be expected to be ALL EURO 6 this year yet GNE,
Will downgrade and go for yet another Euro 5 order again.
Its a disappointment because GNE are loosing standards by going the easy road.
