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.

Vehicles over 10 years old can certainly be on tendered services, correct me if I'm wrong but the limit is around 16 years old I believe.
