I don't know how the double decker fleet at Speke works , is it a common user fleet or are the varying double deckers allocated specific routes.

Usually, although not exclusively, the double decker allocation for Speke is as follows:
E40D/Enviro400 - 86/86A/D and soon the 75
DB300/Gemini2 - 79/79D, 82/82D, 699
B7TL/ALX400 - 81/81A
B7TL/Eclipse Gemini - 81/81A, 699
On Saturdays, the 80A sees an allocation of DB300/Gemini2s and on Sundays, all City Centre services are double deck operated.
During weekdays and on Saturdays, a scattering of spare deckers can usually be found on the 76, 78 and the 80/80A.
Hope this helps :-)

To be honest, I can't understand why they're not already out there!
They've all been taxed (according to the gov.uk website), so I suppose it's just a waiting game...

That is unusual. There's still Cadets bundling around and even some of the Commanders are starting to sound knackered! 2589 is one of them!
1st July Maybe?

Yes they entered service today but not all on the 75. I spotted a couple on the 76 and 78. Interestingly, they carry promotional adverts with the slogan '50% MORE BUS. 100% MORE LUXURY' then underneath '100 NEW DOUBLE DECKS FOR MERSEYSIDE' or something like that.
Arriva do love the word luxury don't they!?
