From the responses I've had, the depot are aware of the problem and are trying to source bigger vehicles (or more deckers as they put it) for peak times. I appreciate that these do not grow on trees, but I don't think they'd allow the problem to go on for so long if they had competition on the route.
The Solos are clearly unsuitable for anything but the skeleton runs, and only last week was a peak 57 I used having to turn away passengers as early into the route as New Elvet. An all too regular occurrence I've found.
There's definitely a lack of deckers in our fleet - I think cascades from London this year (as mentioned earlier) should be able to rectify this to some extent, but there may have to be some hard decisions need making in order to set out a way forward!
