Unless these saloons are all full and all sail past bus stops, I really don't see what the problem is. Given a choice, I would always opt for a single-decker over a double-decker at this time of the year as there's a much greater chance of the saloon heaters working.

As for passengers switching to Stagecoach, with the exception of the QBPs, Arriva and Stagecoach mainly keep to specific operating areas and I suspect 99% passengers get the first bus that arrives at the stop.
