Could solve the issues that Darlo have with deckers

There is no real issue with double deckers at Darlington depot, if Belmont can use double deckers on the 7 then Darlington depot can use double deckers.

This was the incident which is what sparked the fear of having double deckers at Darlington depot.

Another stupid decision from the predestination of Darlington Town Centre.

Also there has been problems with peak time capacity on the 7 for years, I had many problems for my first two years at New College as buses would fail to turn up on regular occasions and every morning the bus had to drive straight past Ferryhill Market Place because the bus was full and on a regular basis buses on that journey would fail to turn up so we had to get on the bus behind which meant people living in Ferryhill were often late for college.
