The OmniCitys are now 13 years old, and the funding allocated means that these buses will have to stay in the fleet for another three years (approx) based on vehicle mileage, remaining on the same route unless they're replaced with newer vehicles of the same Euro 6 emission standard.

As has been mentioned previously, with the current rate of investment, it's likely a large number of Scania OmniCity, and indeed a handful of Citaro, will be withdrawn this year.

This one is a joint initiative between Go North East and South Tyneside Council. It's important that operators don't completely forget about other operating areas besides Newcastle, just because they aren't going to have a clean air zone (for the time being).
