Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot

[Raawwwrrr!]

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
It is ludicrous to suggest that a passenger would automatically use Arriva because they use a double decker then that of stagecoach. Stagecoach do use deckers on the 82/86 when one is inter-working or Spare.

I know for a fact a lot of people would use Stagecoach as their fares are cheaper than Arriva across the board, from child singles to adult weekly tickets. and for the fact that a VDL DB300 is supposed to only carry 1 buggy/wheelchair when a dart/enviro 300 can carry 2.
Stagecoach Dart's and Enviro 300's also have more level-floor seating allowing for more elderly passengers to be satisfied (Not the case with the MAN versions), This can often be observed with the Halton 14 and Arriva 79 when two pull into the same stop together.
Not forgetting that some people genuinely don't care if they are standing or seated, they just want to get home as fast as possible.
