So you live in Newcastle. Arriva's Jesmond fleet is predominantly 2008-2012 E400s, Pulsars, and Solo's with a decent chunk 2014/5 Streetlites. With absolutely no disrespect towards the operator, I understand it's hard for independents at the best of times, that's hardly ageing compared to the A-Line service fleet that you say you'd use. Indeed, based on other posts you seem to use the 42/42A - a service operated by 2011/12 GNE Solo's, or are they magically younger than Arriva's stock from the same years?
