Deckers totally wasted on the 19 andy.

I think the 9 or a route that needs double deckers on more than the 19

I'm not an expert but to me, it makes more sense putting deckers on the 10/10A/10B cause they do actually carry people. The 9 tends to only need a midibus, and the 19 could get away with that, I reckon

IM sure today i saw a double Decker on the 18 i could be wrong or it could just have wrong display on

No, the first 18 today and yesterday was covered by a decker due to a late-running 837 college service.

That would have struggled down Olinthus Ave!

They put deckers on 10/a/b cos some trips do schools dont they? Otherwise a cadet or full size single decker / alx200 dart would be fine

There's a 10A that does a trip from Codsall High School. The 10 and 10B carry alot of kids to and from Compton Park and Padget Road. The deckers are full mornings and afternoons and sometimes during the day

So, Bob, instead of slating Arriva as per. Think back to the days of the 510, NX used deckers which weren't heaving in the daytimes themselves

[Bob]

Oh well its the only wednesfield route that is heaving. ( if it is)And how come theyve used darts on there that have coped perfectly well. ?

And its an established service inherited from midland.  Every new route they try falls flat on its face and faiks miserably.  You cant deny that...

why would a decker struggle down olinthus ave on the 18? its no longer than some of the single deck buses midland then arriva have used in the past!

Not quite... It's a route they inherited from Midland but modified themselves to incorporate the Pattingham route, while at the same time giving that a better (ie, once an hour, not sporadic) service. I'd call that a success

But bear in mind the section from Perton to Pattingham is tendered, always has been but was part of a different contract when a Arriva were running it as the 516/7 so the buses used were doing other things as well as Pattingham runs.
