It's better than the alternative of curtailing buses short to keep things on the same route. I know which option I'd rather have and nearly every normal customer would agree.
Arriva also have mixed allocations for some routes as there's some boards busier than others. What's the point in having deckers on something when all it needs a full single.
This forums the dull the last few weeks. Just constant moaning about allocations when it's the least of problems atm with a massive driver shortage and because of Covid, parts shortages aswell.
It will be interesting how this would work if the rumoured new depot at East Hartford gets built and Blyth closes, as they will not have the buses at Blyth to play around with.
