Sounds great, and I really hope it's true!
As far as I'm aware, the X30 and the new route of the 21 would be suitable for a decker, even though some other routes around Runcorn aren't ... does anyone know different?

The X30 will probably be even busier now with people going to Chester, what with the 21 being effectively withdrawn, so I can see why bigger buses might be needed.
Having said that, I for one am lucky that I don't work in Chester any more -- if I still did, I would be switching to the train for my commute now, as I used to get the X30 into Chester for work and return on the 21 ... due to the service being reduced to hourly, there's no way I'd be waiting all that time for the bus back ... so I'd be getting the train both ways for cost efficiency, so this reduction could actually see people being taken away from the X30 as well as the 21.
