Was very busy when I had 4930 on the last day of its existence

What should be taken into consideration regarding the 10A extension is that, in return for the frequency being doubled, Go North East allocate deckers to the replacement service meaning that 2 buses worth of passengers can be put onto 1. I took this view when the 43/44 was replaced by the 6 - souble the frequency but twice as many seats in return.
But is having a double decker with a reduced frequency better for passengers? Id rather have a half-Hourly frequency with a Single Decker which is what these people are petitioning to have back.
