The reason single decks were put on the 33T today is due to most of the passengers being pensioners who wouldn't go upstairs on double decks which were allocated yesterday.

In terms of vehicle quality, these are contracted services and I'm sure that, had the contracting authority requested, and been willing to pay for, new buses they could have been provided.
