Probably worth mentioning that pushchairs have to be folded on X9/X10 journeys anyway, so that takes that argument out, a very minor one admittedly, but worth a shout still.
The main issue here is as stated the cascade requirement. But then they face that with the National Express coaches anyway, in that they have to be removed from the network after 9 years. Admittedly its slightly different in that its a contractual requirement but the investment to vehicle life argument remains the same.
