Its Single deck buying that seems to have fallen by the wayside apart from a small set here and there for specific services in other depots .

Yes they are - however Arriva won't buy double deckers for routes that clearly don't need them. I would say that the only routes operated by St Helens that would be ideal for a batch of double deckers in the future are the 89 and 352 - as both can get busy at peak times - even with a full size single decker allocation
