Thought so, you could include the 6 I guess, but since the frequency changed it doesn't see that many Deckers like it did.
The 6 doesn't get anything from what I've seen.
The main allocation is E200 MMC, supplemented by a few Omnilinks and Tridents.
I don't ever see any E400, or E400 MMC on it.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Read my comment again and you'll see that I said "it use too". But yes you are right, it's just E200MMC now with the odd Omnilink and that's it. Although on Saturday I was suprised to see four DD's on the 6 - 4547, 4553/6 and 6131.  It would be nice to see the 6 get some Deckers during the day, if you compare it to the 4/4A, the 6 gets nothing unlike the 4 and 4A (which some days) have more Deckers than SD's.

I sitll see the odd Trident on the 6 most days.
4/A also doesn't have more double decks on it than single decks, I don't see them all, but i'd thinks its the other way round. Most 4's I see are E200 MMC, I see more E200  MMC than Gemini.

Maybe one or two compared the high number of DD on the 4/4A.

If you READ my comment you'll see I said "some days there's more Gemini's than SD's" (particularly on Saturdays), not everyday.

Saying this the 4 in particular needs Gemini's, especially between Acocks Green Village and Solihull.

Whys that? They look busy, but they generally seem to cope (with a few passengers standing) from my observations in Solihull? It doesn't look any worse than using Omnilinks on the 55 to be honest?
If they were a significant problem on there, surely NX wouldn't keep using them?

There is never more doubles than singles on the 4

Yeah they clearly cope... some passengers in Solihull often wait another 10 minutes just to get a seat. The E200MMC's are rammed between this section and the Gemini's lower deck seats are usually all taken too.

Shame there is no competition sounds like a good business opportunity

Yes. I do see more E200 MMC on there than Gemini in Solihull.
Tony has already confimed that there are always more singles than double deckers on the 4.

I said there's always more singles than doubles

Today there has been 3 double decks on the 4 all day, 4 in the peak. Saturday it was two double decks,

Those are about the normal figures

Are Platinums on the 35 really noteworthy anymore? Seems to me that they are the second prefered type of bus used on there

A few of the 61s noted still working out of YW - 6134 on 18 and another on 49. Can't be long now before their move to AG
