  svc 7 gets an additional DD.

  super high demand.

  Sometimes DD seem empty from down because you cannot gauge the load on the upper deck. The upper deck could have 40 pax and lower deck 30 pax, maximum load of what a KUB would carry. 

  Yes 291 has super high loading even though has a good 3-4 minute frequency.

  Which services need more DDs?????

  According to me,

  59 should get 2-3 DDs || 74 should get 2-3 DDs and must start plying Wrights || 93 should get 2 DDs for morning / evening peak (split shift) || 268 should get 50% DD fleet

  Question for sbst275:

  Sorry - I just think you might have the answer. Why does 74 not get any DD additions after so many other services including 69, 90, 119 getting more DDs.

  I think people are complaining frequently about svc 74 still not getting more DDs, and SBST doesn't seem to do anything about it, which is weird.

  What is the rationale for this?

  svc 157 is now 50% DD fleet (got 2 more DDs), from a 40% DD fleet.

  For weekdays only or both weekdays and weekends?

  The number of Leylands on 157 seems to be reduced.

  svc 157 still has 1 LO3x. The new replacements have of course been Batch 3 Wrights.

  Double decker spotted on svc 513 on first day of operation. Bus was on opposite side of road, could not spot the reg number.
