This would make better sense at this end of the game as the cascades in recent years are too old to be longer term reliable members of the North West fleet,you could say if unkind that they are pretty knackered when they arrive here after a decade in London,many of them would have seen service 24 hours a day in London conditions,Some of the recent VLW cascades are far from smooth runners,they might look nice enough but you can`t escape the 11/12 years service use on the running units,there are enough older buses in the area ready for the chop without adding these heaps to the fleet.
