Just me like, but wonder why they are duping the runs and not adding bigger vehicles?
The only reason I can think of is down to the 'units' and the 265 being worked by a low cost unit - with all the implications or complications there may be if another depot used vehicles and drivers on a Peterlee run.
It'll be because the buses interwork. ie. 202-265-204-208. So it'll mean using bigger buses on all services, which isn't practical due to small roads/estates on 204 and even the 208 at points. Or changing the boards which will probably increase PVR and times may not work out.
I assume a Deptford decker may be used in case of big loads, although it could just be a solar, as it'll still provide a nice increase. I assume last year the MPDs were packed, as in previous years Chester would of allocated big buses to the 65 to combat loadings.
Busman101 seems to have beat me to it!
