Liverpool City Region Bus Franchising

RE: Liverpool City Region Bus Franchising
Based on current service levels taken from bustimes right now the 10, 10A (Arriva and SC), 89, 320 & 352 plus either the 20 or 31 which occasionally see a double deck each comes to just under 60. Obviously some services and frequencies are likely to change so that could alter slightly but with a spare allocation too 60 seems to cover these services. If there are a significant amount spare then they could be used on both the 20 and 31, plus the current Warrington service 22 which has used double decks in the past but not so much these days. In the last 5-10 years double decks have also appeared on the 17 (maybe it was before the Laffak extension), 32, 33, 34 (not sure about 34A but can't think why not off the top of my head). And a bit further back Skem have used double decks on the 38 but i'm not too familiar with the current route and current 37 so not sure if they'd still be suitable.

The 9m Enviro200s will probably cover the current HTL and Hattons routes plus the 157. Then the 10.8m Enviro200s the remaining Arriva services.
