The date that the change commences would tie in with that so I'd say it's a high possibility. I agree with S813 FVK's comments regarding a ''MAX'' specification bus being used, as customers on that section, albeit while it is small, shouldn't have to miss out and be faced with a non-''MAX'' vehicle. Then again, it has to be said; could operating one of the new B7TLs be justifiable if passenger numbers aren't expected to be great, and wouldn't an MPD or something else with a smaller capacity than a decker be a better option?
