Arriva North West - St Helens Depot

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
I can understand the odd use of other vehicles during the week covering for breakdowns, as they're unlikely to leave any Enviro400s sitting in the garage all day to potentially cover for another, but would agree that the use of single deck vehicles on a Sunday is poor.

Even the use of single deckers on an evening is poor but then that said, even if the driver did take a single decker in to the garage to swap while on turnaround (assuming they have enough time), it's probably likely that the vehicles sat ready to be swapped and taken out for evening turns are Pulsars and not Enviro400s. It's likely that the Enviro400s are probably going to be sat on lanes waiting for the morning. Taking one off of a lane may then mean that one doesn't go out for the morning which would be a worse scenario than a single deck staying out on lates in my opinion.
