Cadets have a shell-life of 12 years as midi-buses remember, so they will be withdrawn alongside the B10BLEs.
So you can have a rough idea - these vehicles were due off last year but will obviously be withdrawn this year instead (there are ways in which the early B10BLEs could be withdrawn before 2014's arrivals enter service too, but we'll wait and see). These vehicles and these vehicles are due off this year. busmanT has already alluded to the withdrawal of the 'early Cadets' (presumably "South Tyne" examples) to be withdrawn EARLY this year too.
Some Olympians will remain in the fleet until 2014's arrivals enter service.
Cheer's for the info, the south tyne cadets are horrible, take ages to gain power
