The only problematic runs will be the AM ones that are crammed with Durham Sixth form and New College students from Washington. The narrow design of the Streetlite makes standees a problem further back.

I’d imagine the gradual replacement of the Streetlites with StreetDecks on boards which have large loadings will be planned - indeed one has been converted already for a busy PM trip from Durham.

If nothing else over the last 12 months, Go North East has adapted their vehicle allocation to match demand. Single-deck services have been converted to double-deck in the main, but there have also been services downsized from single-deck to minibus.
