Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
The thing is they employ singles and high frequencies on routes to compensate for lack of deckers. ie 20/21 10 etc The problem there is bunching. One bus can not turn up on time and result in a massive influx of passengers at one given time resulting in buses either being over crowded or nearly empty. The 17/19 must evidently warrant the deckers during non term time otherwise why are they on there? I fail to see how you can end all on if they were needed they would be there. Look at the 79 for Arriva. For YEARS they were needed and Arriva tried everything to a point were there was a bus every 3 minutes in some cases before they admitted "defeat" and employed deckers. Now I am not saying what mbonwick has said is completely wrong obviously certain routes don't warrant them and thus don't get them. But I do feel some routes are overlooked and in my OPINION are poorly operated and that aint just Stagecoach its Arriva too.
