The Arriva Decker Influx

RE: The Arriva Decker Influx
Don't forget that these deckers are addressing severe capacity problems on the 10/10A and 52/52A routes. I can't see there being any frequency reductions - maybe the 10B to every 12 minutes at a stretch - but not the others.

I seem to remember a few people suggesting the 79 would have its frequency reduced when that got deckers in 2011 (another route with major crowding issues at the time) and that never happened.

Not every bus is full on any of the routes currently served by deckers on Merseyside, but there is no doubt the vast majority need them. You get loads on the 432/433 at off-peak times that wouldn't trouble a Solo, but the peak time loads require the additional capacity over a Pulsar.
