Also, I assume that the cost of conversion is paid for by the recipient depot/region and I question whether that is money well spent considering these VLA/VLW's have, perhaps, five years' life left in them. Recently, a few local independents (Peoplesbus, Maghull Coaches) have started purchasing ex-Arriva deckers without paying for centre door removal.

Dont forget all the PDLs are due out of London soon most of the ones of the 450 are waiting to be cascaded and the ones of the 410 will be leaving soon when they get replaced, so no doubt they will be scattered across the region considering they're in many lengths all 54 to 06 in age.
