RE: New Buses for Arriva North West and Wales
I've seen the 81/81A peak time loads and they can be fairly hit and miss - some very busy runs, others fairly quiet. I think the present situation of a mixture of single and double deckers with the balance in favour of single deckers seems to work OK. Be that as it may, there are 21 B7TL/ALX400s at Speke and only 14 will be required to meet the 81/81A's PVR, so some will be able to help out on other Speke routes as well.

Priority should be given to improving the 75 and 80/80A services which are always standing loads in the rush hours. One route along Princes Avenue ought to be fully double decked, and it has been this way for years.
