I cant remember if the MANs took adblue if they didn't that make it Very diesel and emissions high.

Everything on Oxford Rd should meet Euro 5 emission standard that can be a Euro 4 engine Upgraded to meet the Standard. A Euro 5 Engine, Euro 6. Others rules many of you will be aware off is on Tendered services the bus can't be more then 10years old but thats in Manchester else where is different. Hence why all the rubbish goes wigan and Blackpool.

The only problem is that their ramp is a stowable one and if for whatever reason the ramp isn't on the bus then they do not meet the requirements.

Or MegaBus. Or blank which some of us do.

I use to be in touch with everything but I kinda fallen behind with everything as time went less spare etc

Also hate the Sorry messages used by a number of companies, particularly the ones which end in an exclamation mark.
Sorry about that!

I think the 000 is confusing because it looks like the driver put in the number wrong or something, whereas any of the others look like they're actually not in service.
