So it'll mean using bigger buses on all services, which isn't practical due to small roads/estates on 204 and even the 208 at points. Or changing the boards which will probably increase PVR and times may not work out.
I assume a Deptford decker may be used in case of big loads, although it could just be a solar, as it'll still provide a nice increase. I assume last year the MPDs were packed, as in previous years Chester would of allocated big buses to the 65 to combat loadings.
Both Deptford and Chester allocated Deckers to the 65 every day, normally 3944/45/46 and it stayed that way years, only difference being on a night/sunday Deptford allocated a Versa or MPD and it interworked with the 60 and Chester would allocate a MPD or SPD on a night/Sunday.
It makes sense to dupe it when I take interworking into account, might have a look out on Saturday to see what vehicles is used on it
