If Stockton can't facilitate double decked vehicles, can Darlington? I can't see why a service should be prevented investment because someone hadn't the foresight to think that a bus garage would need to house and maintain a double decker bus.
Darlington can yes, as they have had them in the past (7514-21 for the 1/1B) - the loadings is part of the issue why we've added an additional journey into Durham on a morning, and return on an evening for the college students. I know the current 0810 arrival in Durham can just be handled by a Pulsar and of course the extra journey will now run 15 mins behind this trip which should split the loadings a fair bit, which can only help. If there are any specific issues happening every day then PM me and let me know...
