Not 100% sure, but I think they may be Euro 3.

IIRC Euro 4 came in on Volvo's when the double decker chassis switched from B7TL to B9TL.

Correct. Yes they are Euro 3

Ugh... Does that mean it'll come to a point when the only buses allowed in city centre are Enviros? Kill me now

Nope. Scania Omnicity DD's (Excluding 4697), Omnilinks, B7RLE's (Mk2), Volvo B5LH Double Deckers and E200's. Also, Certain Tridents would be allowed as a handful were re-engined with Euro 4 spec.

Unless the rule where if the service frequency is every 20 minutes or less will still apply

It's 30 minutes isn't it?

The 73 would still qualify then.

It is 30 minutes, anything less, Plaxton's wouldn't be allowed in

@OH25 The Merc on the 89 is more likely to be 1698, as 1688 burnt out near Junction 10 a couple years ago

Link doesn't seem to work although the thread gives a keen insight.

I can't help but think in the future the emission policy may be stricter which may limit more buses than just Plaxton's

[Alex]

@BusFan The SQPS (Emission Zone) IS becoming stricter in 2016, to limit the use of Euro 3 spec vehicles into the city centre, with Euro 4 spec becoming necessary for frequent services, as has been discussed earlier.
