As of September operators will not be permitted to use vehicles over 20 years old on school services, the same reason that TGB have withdrawn all their Metrobuses, so I'd say it's likely that TDC's will be withdrawn too

I'd say country wide, as Silcox Coaches in Wales are having to withdraw all their Leyland Tigers (they have around 20 of them) for I think the same reason. They currently use them on school services, but also see public service sometimes when they're needed
