I was originally told the same last month, that with the older ST Enviro200's moving to MN to displace S and T reg MANs which were deamed to old for tenders, any that remained in use were for commercial work only but it seems this has been relaxed given the number of vehicles off the road or awaiting re-paint.

Just seems strange given the number of younger vehicles at AZ the oldest vehicle thier ended up on late evening work (which is unusual in its self), but also on tendered journeys.
I'm sure I've seen 22102 on the 183 recently as well!

Arn't the 3 magic Olympians at MN mainly used on tendered school services?? Surly these are also too old for tendered work.
