Green Lane, in my opinion, should be the depot who can fully utilise these buses on the disposal12/13's, perhaps combined with a lower PVR on the route enabling to free up vital room in a now overcrowded depot with very little available space. Plus, match days could see a useful allocation of deckers on the belt.

Finally, someone who agrees with me! Those of you who know me well know I've had many a rant over deckers on the 12/13, and how Dart's are simply inadequate on most journeys on the 12/13 (not every journey is packed to the rafters, but I highly doubt every journey on the 79/82/86 are either...) Green Lane have needed deckers for too long, and I think the most stupid thing I've ever seen was Green Lane's allocation of Palatine IIs being transferred out in 2004/5. I'm led to believe Arriva are having tons of complaints about passengers being left behind on the 12/13? I witnessed packed Pulsars on there yesterday before they even reached West Derby! However, I still highly doubt GL will get them despite there being a good case for them.

Sorry for going off topic.
