Stagecoach used deckers pre Covid, it's not specifically a social distancing thing.

Enviro200s so backs what I been saying with the tender is for a 30 seater give or take. like when Beeline had it back in the 90s with the Mercedes-Benz Beaver.

Sometimes in my view it better to be full on a smaller bus then to just use a bigger bus as you can build a route with it being more often. look back in the 80s with the rise of the minibus routes many turned into full size then failed like the 168 as people like the turn up and go over 1 bus every hour.
