Quote from: RobertJ21a on May 15, 2024, 04:02:04 PMNot really much justification for any more double deckers. All are quite short routes, often full of those with buggies, walkers, shopping trolleys etc.Was no issue in the past though?
Too few passengers would bother going upstairs for such short distances.
37 Double deckers operating until Summer last year (up until the start of the gb kite rollout).. over50 double deckers in mid 2000's/early 2010's..
The council wants to encourage bus travel, you've got to provide capacity to do so! People don't want to be crammed in (ok for a short hop, but not for a longer journey). Service 4 for example is busiest on its shortest part between city and melton Road, yet that sees double deckers, it shows people do use both decks.
