It's beyond a joke.
And if they were going to trial them why not do it during the winter so they would be prepared by the summer season started.
To be fair the 748x B7TL's have done alright over the 3 years they've been used, not forgetting they were used full time for their first season, before being relegated to the summer extras only. They still do ok although I'm not sure whether they'd expect to get another year out of them in 2017, hence the reason for trialling some extra summer vehicles in the shape of lower cost B9TL's or freshly refurbished B7TL's again. Hopefully a decision will be made that will allow a fleet to be put into place before the summer really kicks off properly in June.
