Maybe the introduction of the Citaro's will give it a USP and increase the fortunes...
Now the question is, will they be given a "refurbishment" to offer the same standard as the other service in the same brand?
But is the sign of money from the service being used elsewhere... Ian Bradley must be an expensive bloke over time!
The Citaro vehicles are in pretty good shape at the moment. Maybe if the service is successful with these vehicles, they can later justify the expense of refurbishment too. For now, they're no where near their mid-life point, and have a few years left in them before refurbishment would have usually been given.
