Delivery is anticipated during this fiscal year, therefore has a 2025/26 financial impact and included for completeness;   (iv)         Note that all additional revenue costs will be managed within existing approved Fleet resources based on current projections in 2025/26. Total additional capital investment of this report is c£4.090M over 2025/26 and 2026/27.
