For example Green Lane depot received two R-reg Plaxton Prestiges which were 14 years old at the time in the winter of 2011/2 after being refurbished - I think they were withdrawn less than a year later

You mention those two Prestiges were refurbished shortly before withdrawal - I know Go North East recently repainted a lot of their vehicles and gave some a refurb - which are due to go in a couple of years.

Is it possible Arriva North West did this to up their value?
