Whereas Percy Main needs a lot of Euro 6 vehicles as every day there are 4/5/6 if not more non-euro 6 vehicles on routes that lead into Newcastle. Why don't they just keep the current older deckers that they have for school routes and use them until they're uneconomical for repair and keep some of the Euro 6 deckers in reserve at Depots such as Washington, Depford, Percy Main, Consett and even Riverside as dedicated spares for routes that require Euro 6 vehicles.
