I'd say the oldest bus I'm somewhat interested in is an L94 (or equivalent), and that's probably because they were the fancy 'new' buses when I was being forced to get the bus as a child. But even then, I'd probably consider them an old bus and would probably avoid them!

I think the thing that puts me off older buses, and I've said this before, is the fact that they end up getting used on scholars services, don't get looked after, don't seem to be reliable and have terrible seats!

You see, I actually prefer the old-style bench seating you have on older buses (though probably not L94s to be fair). A lot more legroom and easier to stretch out if no-one else is sat there.
