There's also long stretches of tumbleweed at points, too. I'm not sure the particular peaks and troughs warrant having a large double decker running the full length of the routes at all times of day.
What would the alternative be though? Having a fleet of deckers sitting in the depot all day, only to come out for 3 hours during the morning/evening peaks?
