There's also the bonus of other components being salvageable...

Will be interesting to see whether over the next 2 years, sizeable numbers of older Dart SLFs/Solos are used for spares rather than being sold on for further use?
This also has the benefit of 'starving' the second hand market and making it harder/more expensive for competitors to find vehicles for tenders etc.
But maybe 13 - 15 year old vehicles will be worn out and only suitable for the Scrap Man?
