I havn't seen the letter TO arriva but I think its complaining about the Double Deckers on the "Great North Road Route" pumping out carbon.
Arrivas response is that the "x21/x22 are to get 12 new Sapphire low carbon emmision buses and move the Mid life sapphire quality buses on 43,44,45 to replace the double Decker buses you mention". " Once intorduced 50 of arriva 66 buses per hour during the standard day time service pattern wiill be either sapphire or Max quality Buses.
Go new for me anyway!
I wonder how many of those residents run great big 4 by 4s or hop in the car to go to the shop 1/4 mile away or drive their children to and from the school round the corner every day.
