First have always seemed to have a policy of if a bus can still be used it will still be used, even if it means cascading it to another part of the country. In the 00s First's Huddersfield depot had a collection of ex-Yorkshire Rider and ex-London deckers, while their Halifax and Bradford depots had brand new deckers. If you tell them the old buses aren't suitable for routes going in to Greater Manchester then they'll probably allocate some of the brand new ones to Halifax and Huddersfield to ensure they have suitable vehicles for cross-border services, while depots like Leeds, Bradford and Sheffield will be stuck with the older vehicles.
