Where they posted on face book then I am not seeing the pictures

There's a group called 'Centrebus, D&G, Select and Midland Classic Bus Enthusiasts', that stuff is usually posted in.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

The 70 does not need upgrading to Euro 6 for a few years yet. Neither do the Select services, Arriva 9 or Banga 891.

Arriva 9 is allocated the 369X versas, which are Euro 6. 

Most of what Banga puts on the 891 is Euro 6.  YJ05XNS is the only vehicle that is allocated that isn't Euro 6.

Cross boundary services (as in out county, not to Sandwell!!) that run at a maximum frequency of every 30 mins have until 26th April 2026 to meet Euro 6 standards.

The only requirement currently for such services is they must be Euro 3.


BusMan Greg

So we won't be seeing a demand for euro 6 buses on the 70 any time soon! Unless D&G decide to put the frequency back to every 30 mins post Covid!

No, because they have until 2026 to do it, so unlikely to do it until nearer the time.
