If I remember correctly, either the 116's or the 117's were intended for the 12's too, and as of right now, theres only 3 double deckers on the 12's, out of a total PVR of 9! And the PVR for the 22's has dropped down by three so surely that makes room to put more deckers on the 12?
I live on the 12 route too, and they always seem to put the singles on the school boards for some reason.
Forget funding for electric buses, we need f**king deckers!
This isn't a North East only problem as well, down here in Liverpool where I'm based now Gillmoss depot has far too many singles which then find themselves on high-frequency but also high patronage corridors. Might be just about alright for off-peak loadings but at peak times it's ridiculous and results in full buses which get later and later while waiting for the next double deck to catch up.
