The solos are in shocking state especially the few which are at Ashington they're literally falling apart and that's not even mentioning the MPD's which are even worse. Speaking of solos though does anyone know what the plan is with the ones at Jesmond when the new LEZ comes in as I can't see them being upgraded to Euro 6 and there's no minibuses which realistically could be either.

Whoever said about the interior of Arriva buses imo it's aged much better than both GNE and Stagecoach, the buses still feel modern imo. GNE's blue design just looks and feels tacky nowadays - blue really isn't in lately imo. (I know it's finally changed now) and Stagecoach's livery feels like something from the 90's / early 00's (which it is).
