Cool, new buses for Blyth. First time I will be riding on a new bus on my local routes since I first got into buses in 2016 (apart from the 2 month spell in 2022 where the 57 had new buses)
Regarding the emissions, I wonder if there is more buses being affected by this, but so far they have only been able to do a few swaps, so there might be others which are receiving fines daily. I guess we will see if they bring in the 16 plate MMC's to cover.
I would expect they would fix the issue on the 61 plate Gemini though. They still have a few years in them I think. 57 plates probably be gone in 6 months though.
