If it is in anyway helpful to the discussion I can tell you that 2298 was out on 34/34A's last Wednesday...

And I have been on numerous Cadets and Darts on this route that practically run empty half of the time. I agree with CX54, it definitely does not need bigger buses, I may be inclined to say you may be exaggerating things slightly here as I haven't ever seen a standing load on any 33As, and as said previously, Cadets are no smaller than Darts, in fact they offer a higher seating capacity than some Darts.

Terry you really can't judge the suitability of a vehicle on the route based upon 1 working, even if you've used it twice. It could simply be a busy service on a daily basis and will most certainly not be representative of the whole timetable, as I said before. The peak Widnes runs will fill a B44F Renown but then that Renown will spend the rest of the day running half full if not less.

Standing loads do not necessarily necessitate the need for a bigger vehicle.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
its the same with the 89. the first few runs are always rammed full with standing loads but then its half full till about 3 when its rammed again

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
really i should do like a overlook of the entire service by looking at each service time one by one (mind you CX54 will only be right anyway)

The 33 tends to be quite busy on the Sutton Heath - St Helens section, I'm not sure about the Sutton Manor side though.
