I think a solution would be if  slatyford received 10 more double decks and cascaded 8 of its eldest single decks

I have been very unlucky with my travel this week...4 times I went for a 62/63 and it was full to the brim. They are a stupid allocation and sure a smmall bus is better than no bus...like you say any double deckers atm would help. They could then send some stuff to stockton/hartlepool to help there or south shields with the 397'ss.

It doesn't help that you get a 72 linked to a scholars and an 11 too which do not need deckers in the slightest.
