There definitely does seem to be a change of allocation on the 312, possibly relating to the school service that it interworks on and off, as a Solo-sized bus hasn't been used on it for a while.

Well the gold pulsar 2 that was on it yesterday had a full seating load. Maybe its because a bigger bus actually attracts more passengers or it could be because the 310/311 won't serve the Asda.
I think they fill out better towards the Concourse rather than towards Clay Brow as it goes the same way as the 375/385/395

That seems to make sense, however it's usually either empty or got very few passengers aboard when I see it at different parts of the day. I really do think that the bigger buses would be better-suited elsewhere - especially when smaller buses are seeing use on key corridors such as the 10 road.
