Single decks are very rare, to be fair.

The allocation of OmniDekkas on the 21 has been more frequent recently and that’s why the loan bus from Wrightbus is now allocated to Chester-le-Street, while works are carried out on the branded StreetDecks.

Non-StreetDeck allocations have also increased in number because 6301-3 transferred to Consett replacing the 4x Red Kite B9 which needed to transfer to East Yorkshire. PVR of the X-lines services was prioritised over additional spare buses for the 21 (there is still a branded StreetDeck spare for the 21).
