This makes out they planned to buy nice buses for them routes.

They did the exact same in Kidderminster. Also due to Hallmark but got diverted and it was big press thing.

I wonder whether they will either refurb these into actual local spec (IE no luggage racks) and keep these buses in the areas and then if/when Heathrow returns to near pre Covid levels, they will put in another order.

The story fails to mention them being forced to purchase a very elderly tired batch of B7’s from First because they are not ready to return them.

Would you prefer they cut services back as they don't have enough buses due to delays to new buses which are beyond their control?
