Quote from: Stu on November 05, 2023, 02:38:09 PMI remember reading elsewhere that at the time, someone at NX Bus decided it was a good idea to use single decks on some services and make them more frequent. Hence the 37 became single deck operated, along with other routes such as the 6, 16, 33, 97 etc.

I believe the other issue was anti-social behaviour, which was another reason to make them single deck.



I had a feeling it was something like that, but in terms of latter point what's changed has the security infrastructures changed / improved.

I wouldn't say pointless, guess aimed at workers / commuters from business park getting home. Still exist.

Really sad hearing about the little girl hit and run. Action I hope will be taken now on these nasty little Ferrell types.

Any more rumours where these 2 new replacement depots are going to be located , I read somewhere the are both going to hold up to 150 buses which represents an expansion on the current bc allocation?

Your average joe won't spend that much time, but hopefully staff will be on hand to assist.
