I checked out the Alexander Dennis website yesterday and I think if stagecoach want to carry more passengers they may well end up possibly considering the Enviro500 someday.

They are 40' in length, standard 8' 2" width, have all the latest tech on them including new spec engines but can carry 100 passengers.

I don't think that this will happen on Merseyside. Aside from the fact that deckers aren't favoured by the management, being twin rear axle they would not de allowed to use the Birkenhead tunnel.

An radical alternative solution would be to increase the frequency at peak times. That used to happen a lot pre 1986.
