There are two problems with your comments.
Firstly when do engineeres turn it on? If you have a cold frosty night in October then a 3/4 week mild spell one thing engineering staff won't want to do is be constantly be turning heating on and off lol.

That's a fair point but when I started this thread this morning it was the 13th of December and I think that it is safe to say that there won't be a heat-wave between now and next April. Therefore, is it not unreasonable to expect buses to have heating switched on for the next three months?

Countries with much harsher winters than ours seem capable of operating buses with working heaters.

Well here in Britain we never seem to adapt to the weather do we just look at trains and 'leaves on the track' or the 'wrong kind of snow' lol

The point I was making is that up until this weekend it was actually rather mild (and wet), and I believe now until the end of December should largely be pretty mild so heating won't be seen as a priority because it's not cold enough in their eyes.
It's like me saying I'm going to turn my central heating up to high from 1st December because it's bound to be cold when in actual fact it's hardly been on until this weekend.
