Chaserider

[Bob]

NX Bus and Diamond applied for and were granted exemptions to use non-Euro6 vehicles by TfWM.

I don't know for certain but it would seem likely that Chaserider did also.

At the end of the day, I'm pretty sure that while TfWM would prefer all buses to be Euro6, they would also prefer all registered journeys to be operated.

Would those exemptions extend to Euro6 tenders that specify said vehicle type?

So bus runs all day and you still moan

Not moaning, just an observation. The fact theyve managed to actual run an hourly service all day without a 2hr gap due to breakdowns is a credit to them....

Hope their getting fined

Why would you hope that? Would that benefit you in any way.

[Mayfield]

Perhaps it might make them run a better service which would benefit a number of passengers.
Why bother specifying Euro 6 then dish out exemptions, either Euro 6 or don't bother specifying 
Going green is just pie in the sky

Doors were a great invention but even our doors on our buses are causing issues which are starting to get annoying

I remember when, during the warm weather, the driver would just drive down the road with the doors open so a cool draught was pushed through the bus.
