Even with the four extra Enviro400s there's still single deckers on the 52 and 52A today. Those routes need the deckers far more than the 62 and 63 in my opinion

I agree. The depot situation isn't ideal so sometimes there's limited deckers available to be allocated out at one time. But there are some trips on 62/63 that have a full standing load, not necessarily the same board for the morning and afternoon so a few boards need the deckers.
