I don't work at Speke, but I can tell you an Enviro200 and Solo weren't put on high volume city routes for a laugh. For whatever reason(s) on those particular days, Speke didn't have any larger spare buses available. The ratio of spares to peak vehicle requirement can only be so high, otherwise it isn't cost effective.

That said, apart from contract routes, Green Lane and Speke shouldn't have any single deckers. But, we are where we are.
