Can't see that ever hapening due to low bridges around Halton, unless they change the route in that area

Deckers can operate the section of route that it operates on around runcorn as most of the bridges are not signed up which means they are normally around the 15ft mark.
The only reason i know as i use to work at runcorn depot and done the X30 on many ocxasions.

I have heard Speke. Makes sense considering they're getting seven hybrids from Birkenhead

Correct me if I am wrong but I am told that the Service 2 that Howards run on school days is always a decker. I know Arriva extend their 2 into the school in the morning and Howards do the evening. The low bridges is only the one at Halton Lea as far as I know.

I know it'll be Chester. I was answering a question about where the rumoured deckers will be coming from
