I just brought up Cat9 as I know there's a booked working operated by an older vehicle. If you want an Arriva related example the 130 route didn't get its fares lowered when the Sapphire branded vehicles got replaced by Solos and passengers travelling on the various "non-Sapphire" routes operated by the Winsford depot pay the same fares whether they get a 15 year old Cadet or one of the Sapphire standard buses.

Depends how you look at it. If your journey starts in Chester and ends in Wrexham and that's the only journey you'll make then yes. If you have to buy a combination of different tickets for different operators to get to where you want to be then you can end up paying almost double that to get from A to B.
