And the 57/57A would benefit from a capacity increase without using anything too overkill.
The 57/57A won't get bigger buses as Northumbria pay rates are dictated by the size of the bus used. If it was as simple as that, they would have done it the same time they converted the 1/2 to full size (in that case the offsetting benefit was the frequency reduction).
That's not the case in Durham County.
