Not sure yet but it has got Glenvale legals and Gillmoss phone number on the back window. Hopefully they are for the 204, we'll know soon enough!

I know I bring this point up regularly but yet again we have industrial action on Northern and loads of single deckers on the 10A. Not good considering it's probably the most affected route Stagecoach run.

Double deckers are needed for the 917

And the 17.
Stagecoach probably feels that as the 10A route is shared with Arriva and from Knotty Ash with the 8/9/10B that the 10a capacity will not be too bad.

Since the extension of the main stand at Anfield there has been an increase in the PVR for the 917. This will always require deckers as they are guaranteed to be full to capacity. Stagecoach take a sensible, pragmatic decision by using putting some single-deck buses on high-frequency Quality Partnership routes (10, 82, 86) that would normally be double-deck operated.

To be fair to Stagecoach, I should add, it has invested heavily in high-spec deckers for Merseyside over the past few years far more so than Arriva.
