Trident 4609

WA89 needs a few more double deckers Mon-Sat. It gets packed in Walsall on quite a few journeys and the Wolverhampton-Wednesfield section can get very busy aswell. I think there are currently about two boards that are tridents but i think that it should be increased to about 4-5 boards

The 55. I've never understood the reasoning in making it a fully single decker route. Between Birmingham and Buckland End it's always rammed.

55 suspect to cut down on vandalism.  In the past have tried it with most ex lea hall services with increased freq's.

94 had lynxes 94/94e (combined every 4mins at one point) - Branded Mercs
14
97 (Branded Omni links)

98 do need double deckers in the peak periods

The singles cope pretty well on 29/X64/98 from my observations and theres less vandalism.

Also, it has been stated before that deckers on the 98 are not very suitable. Due to all the trees and whatnot. I'd agree, the trees near Edgbaston and the Q.E. Hospital can hit off some of the buses (i.e. 76) never seen major damage though...
