Yes, 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 

[Tony]

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

[Straightlines]

@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

Death, Taxes and TfWMs favourites being given preferential treatment again!

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..?
