The artics have fewer seats than a double decker and obviously a much

get a long single deck crush on artics on busy routes. I don't call that
a solution to crowding problems for the mobility impaired.


unless capacity goes up. I can't remember the headways on the 25 in
the am peaks but I'd be interest to see how the artics pan out.


Current Double Deck: 10 bph.
Proposed Artic: 10 bph.

The 10 bph is also extended over a longer period of the operating day
on Mondays - Saturdays, as well as an increase in evening/Sunday
frequencies from 6 to 8 bph.
