What sort of standardisation is that?
If there's 23 vehicles worth x amount of pound and funding on offer to upgrade the emissions output by a different supplier versus a similar number of older vehicles where there's been publicly documented fallings out regarding the supply of parts & spares and others from elsewhere in the organisation are being canabalised to keep the originals going...
Aye, makes sense.
I think it's probably the case of what I said further up, the fact they're also thirsty and expensive to maintain meant it wasn't worth them getting upgraded, especially since they were going to be leaving soon anyway.
If they had upgraded them with funding from a LA that'd mean they'd be tied into keeping them for another few years
