New Buses Orders

RE: New Buses Orders
Transport for London have neither introduced a cap nor replaced paper Travelcards so I don't see why Merseytravel wouldn't do the same with the Saveaway.

A number of the routes we have outlined as requiring deckers have a younger than average population for much of their length, e.g. the 12/13 and 10/10A. Both of these routes cover a fair few deprived communities before reaching the suburbs so I can't imagine concessionary passes would be an issue.

Routes like the 10/10A, 12/13 and 52/52A don't require a frequency reduction to make deckers viable - they are so badly overcrowded as they are now, deckers would be able to take over at the same frequencies to better handle the loads, as we saw when the 79 finally went over to double deckers.
