My point was merely to raise awareness, in the mist of spun press headlines.
Without trying to turn this into the order predictions thread, I'd suggest it's rather difficult to predict for the following financial year's order, when you don't know what's on this year's. Even once this year's order is known, there'll then be a series of cascades, as there is every year. The allocations could be completely different in 6 months time.
Who's to say there aren't plans for the Red Arrows in this year's order? I know it's becoming a broken record, but the B9TLs may actually be required elsewhere.
Gets repetitive though when you see "Red Arrows will get new buses so the B9's can move else where" every week or so.....
Like i said i wasn't predicting orders for next year... i was merely saying i don't think the B9's will move until at least next year (2016-2017) or so....
