If it's raining, chances are that you're not going to find families going for a day trip out to Berwick, and a bus smaller than an OmniCity could be justified.
However, if it's very hot, coaches or double deckers may be the only suitable option with regards to loadings, regardless of whether it's departing at 9am, 11am, or 1pm...
Think the worst of the problems loadings wise will be on the X18s which of course will be solid double deck allocation.
There is a rumour of Greenline gaining 5 new coaches soon, if so this would free up 5 of the older Van Hool coaches - would be interesting to see whether we could gain these and revert back to plan A ... Pure speculation on my part though!
