They 'may' be able to get new buses next year for the X93 depending how it performs this summer?! Charming! I didn't realise they were running that close to the bone! From how they performed LAST summer they'll be lucky to have any customers left. Shouldn't that be factored in when deciding what buses to put on the service?
By perform I'm referring to how much revenue is taken - not how th vehicles perform. If we get a summer like last year, then the likelihood of new vehicles next year is high. On the flip side, if we get a summer similar to the winter we've just had (storms and heavy downpours) then the taking won't be as high so it will have to wait another year.
