How do these compare to the Pulsars with regards to number of seats?

Was it never an option to get deckers for the 5? Seems a very popular route.

If they are the same length as the 72 & 25 plate ones at Bootle, they will have 43 seats compared to 44 on the Pulsars.

They wouldn’t be able to get under the arches in Conwy town centre

Back in the day, Crosville/Crosville Wales used to use low height deckers on the 5.

They do, but they are open top and I don’t know the height of them

Deckers need to be under 12ft

Maybe that applies to the smaller pedestrian bridge as double deckers have definitely gone under there, most recently the P-MKL Volvo Olympians which operated occasionally on the 5
