Your right on that one I believe V671, a number of complaints over a period of time down to how many passengers are being left behind at stops due to the overcrowding on the 12/13 corridor. I can only assume it is past Tuebrook Iceland/Green Lane, as we know the 15 and 18 serve in conjunction with the 12/13's to this point frequently. Having used this section of road network and the Arriva services many a time, it gets very busy even at the quietest periods and I am sure there are people who too have experienced this. The problem is the depot are reluctant to have deckers on their allocation and therefore I fear thwarts the possibility of any Envrio400's or spare ALX400 DAF DB250's making their way to Green Lane, despite their being a strong case for an allocation of at least some double deckers. Green Lane has had its fair share investment over the past few years, though even a trial of ALX400 DB250's could be a step forward in terms of an increase in available capacity?
