Generally they are single-deckers (usually MANs), though sometimes double-decker Enviros are used.<br /><br />Re. Felix, there are several school services in Stockport that are single-deckers or even coaches.Greater Manchester Buses Onlinehttp://manchesterbuses.comze.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883583192402232169.post-81699018542398290342010-11-02T04:33:27.149+00:002010-11-02T04:33:27.149+00:00Seating capacity is the only condition on schools....Seating capacity is the only condition on schools.

The 347 has been crying out to become a double deck service for years now, yet very often at peak its single deck MAN's and even the little Scania's. when double deckers are needed. Then at quiet times during the day and all day on Sundays its wall to wall Enviro's which are normally empty.<br />Its the same on the 236/7 as well. I counted 3 enviro's passing through Stalybridge today with only a handfull of passengers on, yet at peak its MAN's which are jammed full.<br />Hopefully when the Metrolink does come the 216 will become a single deck service freeing up double deckers where they are really needed.<br /><br />I always thought the 842 school service had to use a double deck bus as its normally a condition of tender by GMPTE on school services, and thats why the Bullocks Olympian was used.felixhttp://f.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883583192402232169.post-24309193420970558072010-11-01T19:36:10.442+00:002010-11-01T19:36:10.442+00:0016103 is due to go to North West a long with 161...16103 is due to go to North West a long with 16124Micnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8883583192402232169.post-2911034704108072742010-11-01T17:45:39.534+00:002010-11-01T17:45:39.534+00:00there is a few double deckers on the 347 in the mo...there is a few double deckers on the 347 in the mornings now. but it was behind me doing the clearing up.
