(28 Dec 2018, 6:34 pm)Malarkey It's a Euro 4 example from checking the fleet list, so it did not get the Euro 5 mods.
It will be one of 6 which remain in active service to be withdrawn, the others being 4944, 5229, 5230, 5231 and 5232, the other Euro 4's have either been withdrawn already or are driver trainers.
And 5201 was not the first of the penultimate batch to be withdrawn either, 5203 was way back in January of this year.

(29 Dec 2018, 5:11 am)Dan Worth a mention that this weekend will be the final time to catch the ADL demo in service.
On paper currently planned to be taken out of service on Monday, to allow time for the bus to be decommissioned, prior to return to ADL on Wednesday 2nd January.

(30 Dec 2018, 12:50 am)omnicity4659 But Arriva and Stagecoach operate quite a number of these already, why would they need a demonstrator?
(29 Dec 2018, 12:04 pm)L469 YVK Me too but going by past experiences with the X21 StreetDecks and the B5TLs on the X9/X10, unless there has been a change of heart, then I feel it will come down to the following:
* Fuel Economy
* Commonality (Modern fleet mostly Wright bodied with some Optare in the mix)
* Purchase cost
Hopefully, Go-Ahead management have learnt from the X21 / X9 / X10 and this time around, allow the purchase of a more suitable vehicle type.
