There have been very few instances of single-decks being allocated to services 307/309.
This is in stark contrast to Arriva on services 306/308, which have been allocated single-decks on a daily (or near daily) basis.
I think you will find Storx is normally the last person to defend Go North East, and is possibly more critical of Go North East than other operators. Your suggestion that he (and others) are defensive of GNE and not Arriva or Stagecoach is simply incorrect.

I'd say balanced aka. despise them all as each other.
Can't really fault GNE for this one to be fair, Arriva are blatantly allocating certain boards with singles as it happens every day which isn't an operational mistake. What happens when you don't have enough double deckers and the 306 most the time doesn't need them either. It's better than allocating singles on the X10/X11 which is happening daily aswell lately.
Not sure if the X7/X8/X9 have picked up since the £2 fares but it's noticeable that there's always less than 6 on there aswell lately.
