Unfortunately this is not true. Stagecoach tend to use DD buses for
rural routes.


And for busier urban routes. In Cambridge, first Park and Ride and then
the Citi 1 had single deckers replaced by double deckers for capacity
reasons. Capacity issues tend to be why rural routes use double deckers.
At peak times a single decker isn't enough.
