Yes, they are Euro 6, no that doesn't mean new vehicles are needed

Euro 6 exhaust upgrade

Correct

You have six months from the date of contract award to upgrade to Euro6

Will any Streetlites be coming from down from Dundee

On e200s? Do they have enough e200s?
My point exactly.
They could send 733/4 to PE, the E200MMC's could do the JLR contract.

Apart from the fact they cannot!

They are too long to get around the Gaydon site

That didn't stop AG using them, 2230-2233 went back for it.

You do know there is more than one JLR route Acocks Green operate?

2230-2233 have never done the Gaydon contract, nor have 2201-29. Even the 800s struggle when they have substituted.

Would that apply to other operators who have won tenders too, or just NX? Just thinking about Banga and the one they've won.

There is more than one JLR shuttle, they don't use E200MMC's on the Gaydon shuttle, they are used on the Solihull/Airport shuttles. The Gaydon runs are booked as 'SD Mini E200'

It depends on the award.

TfWM accept bids using 'any vehicle', Euro 5 and Euro 6

NX have been awarded the 77 tendered journies on the 'Any Buses' bid so that the tridents could do both the tendered and commercial journeys.

Gotcha, thanks for the insight into the process. I guess I'll have to wait and see then if they get anything new or carry on using Solos.
