Converting the 60 plate vehicles makes sense.

Sadly, Go North East were given incorrect information about the ex Oxford Volvo B9TL vehicles, being told that they were Euro VI compliant. 

I've heard some tosh on here over the years from insiders. 
The best one up until now was the B10 being allocated to certain routes, because it's reverse wouldn't work. 
Obviously there's been all the patter about wingmirrors and buses not actually being broken down (despite fluid doing it's best niagra falls impression). 
But this one takes the biscuit. 

There's absolutely no way anyone can be daft enough to spend a load of money on vehicles without doing background checks beforehand.
