I'm not convinced there's many times where the E1/E2/E6 do need double-decks!

When the schools are off and it's a warm day, yes... Some peak-time journeys during term time when kids are also using these services to go to school, probably yes... Combined with the Go North East 20/20A, there's a bit of bus overkill on the Sunderland to South Shields corridor, lots of buses which aren't anywhere near full to capacity...
