Morning @Tony - what Euro engine spec are 323/4/5/6 and 800 please?

800 is euro 2, but has died during it's time in Miller Street Yard with all sorts of problems, I believe, but cannot be certain, the solos are euro 4

4399 left Coventry for PVS on Friday
4237 will be leaving WB this morning to PVS

I had a meeting with the team at PN last week and was very fortunate to have been given a tour of the facilities and the reserve fleet area. I was amazed by the amount of land they have and that a lot of the old withdrawn stock has been moved (for scrap judging by @Tony's posts).

Still surprised to see so many 42xx 43xx vehicles in various states of repair, being joined by withdrawn 17xx B7s. Oldest vehicle was former Timesaver and trainer Metrobus (assuming that's still kept as spares for 2957).
