Was stuck behind 2211 yesterday and must say has a bad emissions problem, smoke coming from exhaust every time it was accelerating.

a lot of these darts still have there original engines and gearboxes which for the amount of work they do is tremendous so a lot of the darts give out bad emmissions but are still with in the boundries of the MOT as even some of the b10bles are the same but they only have upto 2 years left in service if thats correct.

how long do the 22 series have left in service, will these be repaired or scrapped if they become more expensive to repair?

Repaired, they were new toward the end of 2000 so another 2 and a bit years in service for them yet.

When they exceed MOT standards then they would be took in and repaired as like cx54 said they still have a minimum of 2 yrs left in service with arriva.
