Bit surprised if it's true; the 61 generally doesn't fill a Citaro, and the 62/202 was always minibuses. As much as I dislike SitreetLites, I thought 8339-42 would've been ideal. Surely they're not hoping to grow passenger numbers.
You’ve got to remember the current 4 bph to Sunderland on the 61/62 is being halved into 2 bph. So dropping to a solo as well, would be a real decrease in overall capacity. Whilst the 61 may not be loading huge numbers, if you put them people onto a solo it may suddenly ‘look’ a lot busier.
