bus trip to college, standing load
trip home for dinner, standing load
trip back to college 50/50
trip back home, standing load

another thing thats been an issue for over 6 months all the 10/10A buses leaving Queen Square between 7 and 8pm standing load!

Fully agree. IMO it would make sense for the 10/10A, 12/13, 15, 20/21 and possibly the 14's to have majority double deck capacity than having deckers on Wirral routes taking an average of 15-20 pass using passengers - even in the peaks. 10/10A in particular is full to burst on most journeys but again it's up to Arriva, Stagecoach and also Merseytravel to put things in motion on this so sadly don't hold your breath for hybrid deckers in Liverpool!

Also just an idea why don't Stagecoach extend the terminus of their 10C to Broadgreen Hospital (Thomas Drive) using the East Prescot Road roundabout and Brookside Avenue. It would boost the bus services in an area which has poor bus links generally, would offer a much better layover than East Prescot Road in Knotty Ash and shouldn't really require any extra vehicles than the current arrangements.

Just observations/ideas.
