Quote from: Tony on May 04, 2023, 08:04:55 PMYes, 4523 can run after the 24th January, along with all the 44xx ones. No more will be converted. It is expensive and not worth doing on a 20 year old bus
Why were the 44xx ones converted and not the 45xxs? Just out of curiosity

because the were allocated which had to have Euro 6 buses for the Birmingham Caz. They are all 2003 so no big deal between them

Quote from: 2206 on May 04, 2023, 07:48:01 PM@Stu said NX Bus and Diamond Bus have been granted an exemption.
1st May Vehicle Emissions standards deadline: operators apply for temporary exemptions – West Midlands Bus Users (wmbu.org.uk)

So full service can continue to run until more electric/euro 6 vehicles enter service

What's the other choice? Service cuts? NXWM have 80 electric double decks built but not in use, more than the number of non Euro 6 buses in use, Similarly Diamond have had a plan in place which has been let down by outside suppliers not meeting original timelines

On 6993 on the 5 to West Brom currently and there seems to be some flooding on both decks along with a persistent high pitched buzzing. Wonder why..?
