As I said to you then got and ride a peak hour bus down this neck of the woods when you see everything going towards South Liverpool with nice deckers where everyone can get a seat. And you're saying because the minority of idiots who vandalise buses we should all suffer? Seriously that's just giving the idiots what they want! Also, Toxteth was the first example off my head but you get the jist of it, Speke's buses haven't exactly lived a stress free life...

Indeed, and nor have the deckers at Bootle and Birkenhead, but it hasn't stopped those depots retaining and increasing their allocation in more modern examples.

If we bought FC Pictures' logic, the vast majority of buses in cities throughout the country would be single deckers because one or two people vandalise the buses. Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, even London - virtually no deckers there. Imagine that!

Proof if it were needed that you simply do not know the loadings routes like the 10/79/82 get. They are regularly full off-peak and painful to use during the peaks, despite the deckers on the 79 and 82. The Solo statement about the 76 is risible.

As for 'Cowboy country', that's just a sweeping statement deserving contempt about a varied borough with both affluent and deprived areas. Parts of Huyton are lovely, and Knowsley village certainly isn't a bad area.
