remaining seven had only worked to 50 per cent capacity and some vehicles not at all.
Referring to evidence submitted, the LA states that the vehicles' earnings confirm this position: out of 33 vehicles specified, only 16 were available for service and a further six were either on firm order as replacements, being structurally altered or had been sent back under complaint to the manufacturer's agents. In view of this and the customer evidence given, the LA had deleted all nine artics from the /6A licence.
