If the double-deck is virtually untouched on these Sapphire buses, I would hardly consider these Geminis to be to Sapphire standard. At this rate, my MAX Gemini on the Selby-York route last Saturday will end up having been a more enjoyable ride than these!

Isn't the point of the Sapphire initiative to increase loadings on a route?

Also, some peak hour loadings I've observed on the 38 are already at/exceed the 49 seats that the erstwhile Scanias offered.

Therefore, the additional capacity offered is appropriate.
