Again, if they have failed the emission tests, is it likely they will get fixed - i.e. replacing/cleaning their particulate filters considering their age? Or will they be kept at Ashington for the 1/2/57/57a?

7502/4/6 are all at Ashington and likely won't be fixed as they're first due for the scrap heap when the new buses arrive, 7636 is a slightly different case as believe the 61-plate batch is due to stick around a little longer - so may be more likely that it receives some attention but in the short-term might as well use it at Ashington.
