While I realise that they have to buy trams at intervals to avoid block-obsolesence (needing to retire all the trams at the same time), but why are they making piecemeal orders of 4 trams? Surely they should order enough for C1 (2 trams) and A1 (2 trams?) now also and even add for BX.

We all know the trams will be used, even if one of these projects doesn't go ahead.
