Those and the remaining 56-reg Enviro400s at Preston total 24 so that could be a possibility Never fear. In three or four years time, Gillmoss will be 50% deckers. It took Arriva a long time to realise that single-deck operation was inadequate for most Liverpool routes and I'm sure that the penny has already dropped for Stagecoach management. |

The 14/20/21 are certainly in need being the prime routes on their corridors. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

I know it sounds counter intuitive, but deckers would probably be better allocated on routes that are NOT high-frequency but are prone to overcrowding at peak times. Arriva (Bootle) has a policy of allocating spare deckers to routes 56 and 63 that run on a thirty-minute frequency as both these routes serve several high schools. |

That will be one of the ex Gloucester (new to Manchester though) ones, either 18378 or 18385, which cam along with the 3 '06' plates from there (18440-18442).

All of Gillmoss routes are high frequency though except 197/8 amd 217/227 which arent busy enough for deckers. The rest of the routes run at 10 minute frequency or less and some still get hammered |

Isn't it great what goes down during the school holidays. Hope the Scanias spread their wings a bit more this week, even though i cant see it happening. |
