Profit driven unfortunately so the deckers stay on rails whilst unsuitable vehicles are used for the everyday bus user who may now be driven back to their cars in the long term..

At least Arriva had the sense to revert to buying double-deckers a few years ago. If it hadn't it would not have been able to bid for the current rail replacement work.

I suspect that very few car owners are also regular bus users. Those who are and commute from the Wirral to Liverpool probably do it because it is much cheaper as there are no tolls, parking charges or running costs. As long as the bus turns up, even if it is crowded, these commuters will continue to use it.
