The cost to retrofit the facilities to support double deck equipment would be high, Maintenace bays and lifts would have to be made larger, bus washes rebuilt, clearances on routes checked, a lot of back end work, when artics work well for the area.

It used to be interesting, it no longer is. This would be acceptable if posting volume had dropped off, but it has not. Instead, STB now clutters up my RSS reader with pointless trivia.

Seems like there are some routes where it would work well to have double decker buses.
