Unless there is a radical change of policy by Arriva nationally, the age profile is only going to get older.

To add to Barney’s comment

Think of what orders have been placed this year, absolutely nothing apart from a few down south if I remember rightly but have since been cancelled. If there’s no order to replace older stock or replace cascades, then nothing will get withdrawn unless damage structurally or mechanicaly is financially unviable.
