Arriva does have a large fleet haha. It's just that they have a high PVR as well.
Chester is wasting deckers on the 4/X4. There is a good 10 deckers there which could be moved for rails, put hybrids on normal routes and then the 'spare' pulsars and cadets (which are being put on routes to cover the deckers) could go to Chester on the 4/X4 where the route is proven to work on pulsars.

Maybe if there weren't 300,000 spares on each run and people weren't given daft layovers on duties, there would also be enough deckers to cover local runs. Just saying!
