Any dent in what? You imply a fleet renewal deficit, but apart from the Iveco school buses (which I believe are TfGM's), the oldest buses in the fleet are just over twelve years old - so to maintain a life span of circa 16 years, they must buy precisely nothing new for at least the next three years!
