I'll bet Streetlites won't be around in 15 years time - they'll have dropped to bits long before then.Genuinely thought it would have been a heavyweight vehicle that was used on the 78 and 8, if only due to the nature of the roads and the numbers of passengers using the services.
The Streetlights may have the engine management tuned/adapted to suit the route, but not sure the bodywork will last the test of time.
