As for the B9s, yes partly to do with passenger numbers on the 47 at peak times but mainly because the buses were pretty much readily available (and they were cheaper than brand new double-decks!)
I'd think it'd be more likely for a batch of brand new double-decks to replace the entire allocation rather than four more Streetlites bought to join the existing Streetlite allocation... but that'd be my thoughts for a different thread.

Only capacity issue on the 47 before Apr 2016 was buses running late due to a tight timetable. Has passenger numbers grown on the 45/46/47 enough to warrant double deckers?
