Whose resposnibility would it have been to order them, though? Is it something that should have come with the vehicles, like (all-weather) tires on a brand new car? Or are the scrapers an "aftermarket" thing like getting winter tires?
I mean, one would have to read the contract specifically.
But given that Keolis is ordering them now, and that they are only attached to the train during bad weather, I'd be pretty surprised if they weren't Keolis's responsibility.
