Since the coaches went, we could probably count the decent summers we have had, on one finger!
Despite the rubbish summers, newer vehicles have been used on the service.
The service investment, isn't solely dependent on the weather, like I have said.
Its quite easy to use newer vehicles that are already in fleet, compared to buying brand new, which does need the financial backing to ensure return on investment.
The fact Arriva (trying to) use newer vehicles suggests they see the value in the service, but cant quite create a good enough case for investment just yet.
