There are usually 3 or 4 MAN E200s (which are Euro 4) on the E's every day alongside the ADL E300s and I doubt these will receive Euro 6 modifications due to their age and reliability.
Also, are Gas Buses 28001-17 (which are Euro 5) receiving a Euro 6 upgrade? As these also now make more of a regular appearance on the E's.

Could Sunderland be in line for some new vehicles possibly? I know the new vehicle order had been scaled back but them ALX300s are in desperate need of replacement soon, they must be some of the oldest single deckers left in the whole Stagecoach fleet.
It looks like The MAN 18:220 ALX300s at Stagecoach North East are the only MAN 18:220 ALX300s left in service in the whole of Stagecoach Group. So the replacement of these is well and truly overdue.
However, I'm sure there are still some MAN 18:240 ALX300s still in service in Yorkshire.
