Arriva had 15 plate deckers on the 10, 14 and 53 too this week, I was around Elliot St 2-330am.

The lack of patronage does not really surprise me as, quite simply, there are too few routes serving too few places. If a group of friends go out together, it is highly unlikely that two would opt to get a bus home and seven queue for taxis. When there was a full night bus network, deckers were leaving with full loads from Queen Square at this time of year.
