We know for a fact that decekrs won't go on the 1 as a full time allocation as they have painted 5460/5454 so why bother switching the allocation now. Tbf numbers of passengers I've seen and other have been telling and hearing a few passing mention they are surprised its not allocated something bigger like a double deck. I remember a few weeks ago when 6101 turned up and a StreetLite left in front about 15 minutes late and 1 old woman who got on said that they would prefer the decker over them ones. (Her own words not mine)
There's talk that there's problems getting Wright parts. Considering GNE are the only operator that has a massive chunk of Streetlite's and Streetdeck's it probably explains why. Note the Arriva Streetlite's are having similar problems.
