(15 Aug 2020, 11:00 am)Michael wrote Deptford will probables keep them now, due to the Streetlites being able to be upgraded to Euro 6 because of this i would imagine the 10 Red Kite Streetlites will end up on a Newcastle route (although the Enviro zone is delayed due to Covid-19).
The Citaro's can't be upgraded to Euro 6, which means we're likely to see all the Crusader/Tynedale express and 5481 - 5487 (5481-87, i think they were confirmed to be going anyway) all withdrawn by the end of October.
I'm sure First York have had there Mercedes Citaro Artics upgraded to Euro 6 on their P&R Services. - Preventia offer Euro 6 Retrofit options for various vehicle types including the Citaros as shown in the link below.

Go North East prefer to use Eminox and have done for some years now dating back to when the Scania L94's were done, I don't think Eminox offer a Euro 6 upgrade option for the Citaros which probably why we've been told they cannot be upgraded to Euro 6.
