@Tony, is there any truth in the rumour that double decker coaches are to make a return to certain routes?

@Tony, is there any truth in the rumour that double decker coaches are to make a return to certain routes?

I haven't heard that one

[Stuharris 6360]

Ah right @Tony ,the following was posted on London Transport Yahoo group a littlw earlier

"Info from a reliable source on NX Facebook Group that Deckers are to make
a return to NX Services later this year..

Already NX have made aaplication to Tfl for change of use of Vehicle to
14.2mt Double Deck for routes: A1, A3, A6, A7, A8 & A9..

Talks on the gripevine seem to surgest that they could be the new Caetano Invictus Decker Scania that Ulsterbus have just recently taken delivery off & that NX were interested in it whilst being built...

Also talk surgest that some Deckers might return to South West - London / London - Scotland Services with Parks as they were the last to operate deckers on NX..

Will be interesting to see what happens in the near future on this & what deckers do appear back on the Network....."
