Arriva North West - Southport Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
I do not understand why Southport would consider the DLAs to have too little capacity to run school services, considering the R-WVRs have merely a single seat extra. The DLAs are low-floor, internally tidy and thus there is no issue when they inevitably appear on town services. The R-WVRs look out of place with their faded paint jobs and seedy interiors whenever they get onto the 42, 43, 44, 46 and 49, routes which should expect much more upmarket type of bus.

I'd doubt they'd move the B7s onto schools regularly simply because the 375/85 needs all the capacity it can get. I did hear that Southport were expecting a new order of deckers for the route in early 2014 but can't be sure it's still the case.
