Pieman,
If you are correct, why out of 27 units are only two so engaged, and why are both having to struggle so hard?
Please do not get me wrong. I want to see both of the units survive, they were both early exponeants of the art and have an excellent history. But the world has moved on and the dedicated units offer so much more. Surely the future lies in combined units offering well equipped dedicated machines, providing an excellent service to the ratepayer.
There can be no compromise on service delivery. It must always be the best available. What we need to resolve is the most efficient method of delivering that service. And that does not provide an excuse for cost cutting!
