That reminds me, a Pulsar sloped off onto the 10A yesterday. I couldn't ID it though.

Does this mean they still haven't removed the single decker working from the 10? I ask because I hadn't seen a single decker on the route for a while. If it is still happening every day, that is frankly so poor.

I had 2985 home on Friday, I would be more surprised if the one single decker working wasn't still working. I wouldnt say that one single deck working on the route was poor either.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
The 10's case for double decks is arguably even stronger than the 10A, partly because it serves Carmel College. There are a lot of very heavily used workings on this route, and since the change to every 15 minutes, a single decker doesn't cut it. You buy 26 double deckers specifically for a route, you use them on that route as far as I'm concerned. If a single decker really does have to go out, and it will on occasions, then using it on the more frequent 10A is a better compromise.

Each to their own.

The Single Decker duty on the 10 comes of the 156, I do think its poor tho how they have still not changed that duty after all this time

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
I think that there would be more to complain about if the single deck board was run by a solo or dart rather than a full size single deck bus. Admittedly this single deck operation is not ideal but it is what it is.
