Mini - 10 Year or 12 Year
Midi - 12 Year
Fullsize / Decker - 15 Year
I believe anyway.
I think it's 12 years, but I can see them keeping the Solo SRs a bit longer than that, probably up to the 15 year mark, hopefully by then Optare may have a new model out so it wouldn't just be a like for like replacement.
I suppose they could replace them with Streetlite Wheel Forwards, but I can't see that happening
