I had a response from management regarding my 'concerns' about capacity, and they've said that another decker has been put in to the X12 PVR (presumably replacing a Pulsar). They noted further in the email that they're trying to source further deckers, but they're having difficulty in doing so at present.
Yeah, the extra double decker is as a result of the transfer of 7610 from Blyth to Durham (converted to "MAX" spec in the process). It replaced 1416 which had already been converted to "MAX" spec for the X12. Full PVR is now made up of double deckers, and 1415 should be the spare (once all vehicles are converted)?
Clearly the deckers being sourced while the Geminis are away for refurb are the ALX400s. Jesmond, despite having extra buses following the transfer of Volvo B7s from Whitby, must also be short if they're refusing to release the ALX400s which Durham should rightly have at present...
