St Helens hadn't had any deckers for a long time before the DLAs arrived, and both they and the VLWs saw regular service on commercial routes as well as schools without issue. Do you seriously think an order for up to 30 deckers would have been placed without consideration for issues like unions?

And just for the record, before the Gemini 2s arrived at Speke, the 79 rarely saw any deckers at all - not even one or two were allocated most days. The 78 was regularly double decked in the past, but never the 79.
