Was there any rail strikes or outages today? Slatyford only seem to put double deckers on when the trains are off.
Maybe it was Hexham and other schools finishing early, e.g lunchtime, which would catch a Slatyford westbound working at lunchtime - normally the Carlisle based bus at afternoon schools out time is a full double decker.
Or simply more people out shopping.
