Electrification despite it being the way forward is still out of reach for many services.

Unless operators go tri-axile, there isn't a truly heavy duty decker currently on the market.

Not sure a heavy duty vehicle is needed in Merseyside. It's arguably the sort of place a light weight decker is actually ideal. Same with the likes of London and what not.
