I've seen her a few times on the route.

I've seen her a few times on the route.

It's the route it is on most, still being Euro 3 in theory it should always be allocated to the 1 or 11.

4280 is now at Graysons, and if all goes to plan will become the first Euro 6 B7TL/ALX400 in the UK.

Out of interest, what will they actually do to it to make it Euro 6?

Fit a trap to the exhaust that collects all the particulates and Nitrous Oxide to make the exhaust cleaner than the current air in parts of the West Midlands, so actually improving air quality.
The older the bus, the harder this is obviously as Euro 3 emission rules are a lot more lax than Euro 6

I thought it was already Euro 6 ? Or is it euro 5

So those traps that were already fitted basically had no meaning?

IIRC - The company that fitted them lost its license/went bust, therefore, cutting a long story short those Tridents & B7TL's which were supposed to be Euro 6 are only actually Euro 5+ complaint & need further upgrades to meet Euro 6, Tony's confirmed this previously.

Absolutely love the roar on that bus. Only one in the AG fleet.

So will these Tridents and B7TL's be Euro 6 fitted or will they be withdrawn and replaced by newer buses?
