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.
You can't buy new buses with fresh air, and we've had half decent summers in 2011/2, so it's not as simple as you seem to think. If this year turns out to be the same as last year then new vehicles will be ordered for next year. If not, they'll likely soruce better vehicles for next year. The income depends on the weather - and you need the income in order to make an investment so in a way, the weather is a factor in ordering new vehicles.
