I don't disagree with that, but surely if the loadings justify a decker, then a decker should have been branded accordingly? My agreement is in the fact that a route branded vehicle is now working the route it was intended to work. 

This is the problem when you get into branding and marketing bus services to a certain specification. It removes the scope of the depot to allocate a more suitable vehicle. 

If 1415 isn't required for the X12 because it's unsuitable or whatever else, then it needs to be de-branded asap.
