So far yes - I anticipate there will be more in the future though considering the amount of numbers left between 4697 and 4800. There's a few routes in the division that in my opinion could definitely do with an upgrade in capacity - especially the 7, 8/9 and 53. I think the 352 is possibly another one to consider a bit later down the line but right now I think it manages alright with single deckers

I've never seen a 7 between the City Centre and Huyton during the day that isn't full or nearly full and I also think that the frequency of a route which connects two of the North West's largest population centres is too low for single deck operation. First's 100 between Warrington and Manchester is double deck so I don't see why the 7 shouldn't be either

On the route 7 there is a low bridge on the A5080 thats why its allways single deckers unless the 7 is rerouted around widnes
