I imagine deckers don't go on the 79c, do they?

RE: Halton Transport
They don't as the 79C is Runcorn operation whom don't have any deckers. It's the main 79, operated by Speke, that has deckers.

A new livery , Such a shame! looked nice on every bus they had from Nationals to Marshalls!

I'd rather not have Enviro 200's on my 44! Nippy #20 may be feeling its age but I've loved it scince its days on the 203 and 201!

I thought the 100th anniversary livery applied to 34 was good and could have been adopted as fleet livery - just with Halton fleetnames - would have looked very smart.

In the absence of official confirmation, I would be surprised if they are getting new double-deckers - more likely to be second hand (ex-London ?), and quite possibly for use on schools services in the St. Helens area . Of course, like the Warrington deckers, they might also appear on some other services.

I don't see the loads on other school services but the Rainford schools cope perfectly well with the Marshalls, Sprytes and, on occasion, the Enviros. Not a huge call for deckers there in my opinion.

Could be to hedge their bets on Liverpool routes as they appear to be quite profitable.Deckers don't cost any more than singles to operate these days.
