Really should have deckers, they are always busier than anyother route or corridor. Alternatively they could Extend the 23 (and renumber it to E3 or something).
Or just simply magic Decker's out of nowhere just like they need to do for both Slatyford and Walkergate!
But yet again done the logic of sticking to frequency and single decks
Does the E2 and E6 actually need anymore capacity? It's an open question that I really don't know.
or maybe it might be better to up the E1 to every 15 minutes and keep the other 2 every 30 minutes, heck you could even have a short E1 only running from Sunderland to Seaburn, it technically could be done with one bus - ideal for those open top buses in the Summer...
