I know its an old bugger but seems to have been reasonably looked after by the maintenance lads & performs well too, also an arriva driver has told me that by 2014 all uk buses have gotta be low floor to comply with disability regulations etc.

How true is this, if so what'll stagecoach do with their remaining step entrance deckers???

I thought it was 2017 that all buses used on public services had to be DDA complient.

Won't be a big problem for Stagecoach as there's only a handful of step entrance buses in the Manchester fleet anyway.
