What routes have been earmarked for 'decking' or see deckers occasionally..?

I can't think of any. The last obvious route was the 274 which has now converted.

The 152, 164 and 200 buses regularly have deckers even though they are 'officially' single-deck routes

The D6 saw deckers recently when the DLR was down - deserves them full time to be honest

The 296 & 396 uses Double Deckers on the routes almost every day.

Was in Hornchurch on Saturday and saw a number of 256 buses, all DD, so I assumed it had been decked.
Mentioning the 256 I'd like to see a teeny extension to it beyond Miramar Way and into Swanbourne Drive to serve the housing development there. It's a largish estate that could use a bus service and probably would not necessitate any extra vehicles on the route.
Swanbourne Drive is a dead end, so a mini roundabout could be created for turn round, the road is plenty wide enough.

Not allocated, there are E200s and Optare Versas but no ALX400s allocated. Please be specific as there are many types of Dennis Tridents in London (55-60 plate Enviros, any ALX400, ADL Optare Olympus, etc.) |

Those E200s are allocated to the 366, while one of the 396s Versas combusted which has since been replaced with a Trident. |
