but the short ones aren’t even operating the 49. I hope heykeep the weekend deckers thiugh.
No, I appreciate that - I maybe didn't make myself clear - I was meaning that there are a few Lothian services where a single decker wasn't really enough and frequency increase probably not realistic (can't cram any more buses per hour down Princes Street, nothing runs via the length of George Street nowadays), so the ten metre (?) double deckers might be a half-way-house for services like the 29 or 49 where Lothian want to increase capacity but a full sized double decker isn't yet needed.
I'm maybe showing my age but routes like the 1/6 (now 1/21) were all double decker operated back in the day.
