It's a waste to some perfectly good buses being taken out of service just because of their age. There are plenty of areas around the country where buses are kept going longer and its something we may have to get used to up here.

PTE era, the PTE had a policy of getting rid of vehicles that were 13 years old[some went to the training fleet], also i remember MTL getting rid of most if not all the 00 range, & the 18xx East Lancs/Willowbrook Atlanteans 93-95 to make way for ex London stock mostly Titans which were similar age & some cases older, these were around 13/15 years old.
