The 75 has a PVR of 11 so this will allow one spare as you would expect. Speke will achieve the landmark of having 100 deckers as well assuming it is Commanders and Cadets replaced.

Hopefully the 80/80A can be converted to double deck operation in 2016 as it is certainly required.

According to the latest fleet list, Speke still has 41 single-deckers. Assuming that the new Enviro400s replace single-deckers, there will still be about 30 single-deckers at Speke. Is there an argument for a 100% double-deck fleet at some point in the future?
