The Versa's are rubbish though and Streetlite's are well Streetlite's. There's been very little investment in singles since 2017 really other than the Voltra's and E200 MMC's which are arguably without a route atm.
Mind that said the Cityzen's got withdrawn early as they were absolute sheds, good engine terrible body work. These 'new' ex London Decker's would be the equivilent age of when those were withdrawn.
The Cityzens make a Streetlite/deck look like the pinnacle of quality and engineering. I dread to think how they would have performed if they were involved in a serious accident.
