There is no age condition on the 27 or 200, it just makes more economical sense to us to run new , rather than worn out darts or solos

Seems strange that Cheshire East have let the 289 service get cutback yet feel a new vehicle is higher priority than on other routes. While I prefer modern buses to older ones the thing it's really the times and frequency that affect whether or not I use the bus. I've found myself not using both the 27 and 289 services on numerous occasions because they don't run at suitable times but if there were more journeys I probably would have travelled even if 7 or 8 year old vehicles were used.
