Well in Bristol the 24A can only be singles.To be fair, they're now 14-15 years old. They're getting on a bit for a Dart.
Is this generally or just in Bristol?
The 5 could be double deckers but is a low priority route. 8 can when Temple Meads is sorted. 9 Most likely will never return. 35 was supposed to be going to double deckers but that never really happened. 37 could if the right buses were used. 72/72A if the changes happen then I think it is likely that the 72 will no longer serve Temple Meads and be doubled. 96 is doubled half the time. 178 is Doubled at the moment. Otherwise there are a few Yate services and the T2 that can be doubled and often are. Then there are the X2 and X8 which can't be. Not sure what Weston and Bath services are unable to be.
Then there are other services by other operators but other than lack of demand I don't think there are any routes (other than the 506) which physically can't take double deckers.
