In the end of the day, if the 82/82A is a loss making service, then GNE may consider running it at peak times only with a double decker. Then if the local residents complain, GNE can just say that they should have used the bus during the day. Maybe a local independant can take over the daytime journeys.
Washington only have a few different vehicle types, so it doesn't take much for anything else to appear on it.
I believe the '4' branded Merc's are the only ones stabled at Washington currently, that haven't ran the route.
Cadets and MPD's seem to be the vehicle of choice.
B7 and B9 deckers have appeared, as have Versa's and Solar's.
