RE: Eazibus
I'm guessing that the 165 will get 59-reg Enviros back once the 202/204 ends and they are no longer required there. The Solos surely cannot be intended as more than a stopgap.

In my opinion these are actually rather better than they look. Although the non-working destinations and scruffy cosmetic appearance are against them, in terms of overall ride quality I'd say they are if anything superior to the Enviros - they are smoother and don't vibrate as much.

Of course, I'm not saying that having signed up to a contract with a maximum age limit, that they should flout it with alacrity; but I do wonder about the wisdom of disqualifying vehicles solely on age in the first place. After all, the service is ultimately subsidised by council tax payers, and imposing an arbitrary requirement for newer vehicles can only push up the cost.
