You wouldn't get a decker around the X22 route unless it's a low-bridge vehicle due to the low bridge in Neston, although I agree decker workings on the 38 may be plausible, thinking back to the last one in 2006, First still employed their usual Optare Delta's on the 38 at the time.

Low bridges are on Liverpool Rd and in and Little Neston, the X22 will avoid them..

Absolutely correct - Crosville's C22 was decker operated off and on over the years. Back in the early 70s there were some morning workings which were DLG/DFG/DFB operated where West Kirby and Chester crews swapped buses at Parkgate.
