Deckers may be quiet during the day, but if that is still standing room only this far into the route, maybe single deckers are a no-no during peaks
The X25 is a weird service for passenger loadings. Can be nearly full with deckers some days and very quiet on other days.
I saw a Renown today on the 10:00 service from Wrekenton to Newcastle and that was standing room only. On Monday, 4837 was doing the 08:15ish rush-hour service from Wrekenton heading to NCL. Again, standing room only.
Anyway, that's enough anecdotes for now. Point is, I agree that deckers are needed on certain journeys.
