39 has a PVR of 5 (+3 inc. shorts, but these will be replaced if consultation results are positive).
X40 has a PVR of 3 does it not?
Of course the X66 is not feasible at all.
700 needs to be Euro 5. The Drifter/SP Versas are Euro 4.
Plus the requirement for the X40 was bendy buses. A factor in GNE winning the contract over Arriva.
