There is no real definitive withdrawal age as far as I'm aware, but I suppose buses age over time and eventually become uneconomical to fix. Most usually leave Manchester long before then, though some do hang around til death do us part.

A few ALX400's came back a while ago, but most have disappeared again now due to recent new arrivals. I think there are 2 left in Manchester, 18440 (VU06JCX) at Stockport, and 18441 (VU06JCY) at Hyde Road. They don't come out much these days though, just mainly as spares during the rush hour.

Thanks for that gen.

I'm assuming as well that stagecoach aren't taking on new drivers at current. I've not seen any of the 3 ALX300 bodied single deckers move from round the back of hyde road in months now.
