Lots of complaints about overcrowding on single deckers. Hopefully with extra deckers and the slight reduced service on 60rd to help with driver shortage, all trips will operate and help prevent overcrowding too.

I'm not disputing the overcrowding but it's hard to understand why Bootle give the 62 and 63 majority or full decker allocations while the 52 and 52A regularly gets single deckers. Even with the four extra Enviro400s there's still single deckers on the 52 and 52A today. Those routes need the deckers far more than the 62 and 63 in my opinion
