(14 Mar 2015, 8:33 pm)northern156 Hmm... may have been the case a while ago while there were still a good few deckers left at Carlisle (I remember seeing Dennis Tridents on 61/61As) however the routes don't need double deckers running them, there just aren't enough bums to place on seats. In peak times there are usually good passenger numbers (especially on the 62A to Kingmoor Park which is peak-only, otherwise they run as 62 to Lowry Hill or Kingstown ASDA) however this is typical of most reasonably small cities.A rumour which appears to be true..!
However, I really cannot see how Solo SRs on peak services will work - unless a dozen or so E200s are kept solely for that purpose? That or the PVR increases for peaks, however that requires more drivers.
