I think the 15/15A is like the 14 where it is very busy on a morning heading into Durham and a double decker is needed but during the daytime until probably around 1510 it could get away with single deckers.
Yes, you're right.
Prior to October 2012, services 15/15A were operated by single decker vehicles and there was an extra weekday journey (numbered 815) in each direction on the morning school run, operated by a Volvo Olympian. As part of a consultation held in August 2012, Go North East decided to withdraw this extra weekday journey completely and replace the single decker vehicles with double decker vehicles to provide the extra capacity when it's needed at peak times.
