Have they won a massive number of Lancashire or Merseyside School contracts mid year, or something?

From what I have heard, the 600s are scheduled to be converted to double deck to alleviate capacity issues that they suffer from at peak / school times. I suppose other services (i.e. at least some of 540, 598, 658) could also be converted to double deck also, so that all of the inter-urban routes are, but the Wigan locals remain single deck.
