To my knowledge a mini bus has a shell life of around 12 years from what I remember Dan mentioning quite a while back.

The entire fleet across the country needs a massive overhaul by the sounds of it which will be a massive task for anyone who is looking to purchase Arriva given that they are up for sale.

Some of the Solos actually ain't performing too badly from my experiences of them, most don't sound owt fantastic but generally ain't doing too badly.

Just wish they would freshen them up a bit, seats look well worn and some are crying out for repaints (same goes for the MPDs).
