Whilst I can see some logic in what people are saying about the weather impacting on passenger numbers, what happens if we have 2-3 consecutive poor summers?
There will be no financial justification to purchase vehicles (using the argument put forward by others) nor any real reason to keep the service due to low numbers.
Whilst in the meantime, the kit using the route, is getting older and older, with bosses, drivers and passengers praying for a decent summer so that investment is forthcoming!
Yes, the weather needs to be taken into account, but there are many other factors involved in the purchase.
