Would go-ahead's be the same at 18?
I understand the Go Ahead depreciate buses over 15 years currently - but nothing to stop them keeping them running after 15 years old.
Buses coming out of London at 12/14 years old will likely be kept for another 5 years if they are converted to single doorway etc.
