Everyone’s at the whim of the national grid unfortunately. You’ve got to think, Stagecoach’s roll out was massively delayed for similar issues. So if you’re hell bent on blaming someone, try the national grid.

I really can't understand why they'd order the buses before they have a connection offer and agreed timescales from Northern Powergrid? Isn't it a bit like building a house before having the planning permission.
