It's got to the point where GNE are replacing buses that are newer than Arriva are buying.
They just don't seem to care, DB has just giving up on investment, but it'll definitely bite them in the arse when the enviro zones come in to play.
They'll be charged £50 a day for non compliant vehicles.. 2021 isn't that far away either!
Buses/Coaches £50
HGVs £50
Taxi and Private Hire £12.50
Light Goods Vehicles £12.50
Private Car £12.50
--------------
To enter the zones all buses must be at least Euro 6 but it says after 2014 - but the likes of GNE have them before 2014, on the likes of the FAB 56 etc.
