I suspect if they did, 1441-3 would simply move to MAX another service, so it wouldnt be wasted money.
Stockton have double deckers in for MOT, from other depots - so they can get them in.
Yes they would more than likely be for the X12 - no other route in Teesside would really justify double deck operation... unless you went slashing frequencies but I can't see that being desirable?
We can get double decks into the depot but maintenance work takes place on lifts, and there are beams that preclude the lifting of double deck vehicles. It will be interesting to see how this issue will be sorted. Could be as simple as Redcar maintaining them, possibly loaning Stockton a B9TL in place while this is done? Not sure how that would work in the summer months of course, although there is less of an issue in the university holidays (Jun-Sep) which ironically co-incides with peak season on the X93.
