I saw plenty of double deckers going through the city centre, all of which had the total of zero passengers on them.

Deliberate contingency planning, or a balls up in the procurement documents?

The former, Metro finished on Sunday rather on Monday. Registered with the TC so cannot be changed short notice. Bureaucracy from the government at the government's expense!
