ANW and ABW double decker influx - where next?

RE: ANW and ABW double decker influx - where next?
Some good suggestions so far guys - I definitely agree with the 47 and 53 both needing double deckers. I think the 310 and 352 are good shouts too and definitely worth considering a few years down the line but I can't really comment on the 130 or 263 because I've never used either of those routes

So far suggestion we've got that would be suitable for double deckers are:

7 - Liverpool-Warrington
8/9 - Huyton circulars
47 - Liverpool-Crossens
53 - Liverpool-Crosby
310 - Liverpool-Skelmersdale
352 - St Helens-Wigan

I think it's worth considering all deckers for Speke in a few years' time but the top four routes of the above list of suggestions should be the priority in my view. Green Lane has been desperately under capacity for many years and although it's not as bad as it used to be I don't think we're quite there yet. There's plenty of places for Pulsars/Commanders to go where Cadets are too small but deckers aren't suitable (Runcorn busway) so I can't see that being an issue
