There will be no financial justification to purchase vehicles (using the argument put forward by others) nor any real reason to keep the service due to low numbers.
Whilst in the meantime, the kit using the route, is getting older and older, with bosses, drivers and passengers praying for a decent summer so that investment is forthcoming!

Yes, passengers numbers are taken into account - BUT you can't order buses with no profit made.
