Can the 95 be decked? Going thru history on LVF, does not seem to have regular DD workings. The route can get so busy.

Why is there one sole Hybrid at WJ? Thats VMH2543 and its officially allocated to the 206D (the route’s school journey) allbeit it functions more as a general spare for the route |

For whatever reason, it has remained single decker operated ever since though there has been strays of double deckers on a few occasions. |

The 95 only had a double deck allocation for around 15 months between 2006-2007 but this was always going to be temporary. First won the route off Metroline in 2006 using existing single deckers. However they had a shortage of single deckers so they were allocated VNWs out of ON. In 2007, the route transferred to G and DMLs became the allocation. |

If I'm not wrong the DMLs for the 95 came from T31 after it was lost to Arriva London and before Metrobus purchased the Orpington garage. |

I would love to see it pop out on other routes like the 28 to give some variety. Unfortunately, no blinds for 28. Although it does have a single deck set fitted so we'll see if it pops out on the 487 or even better, 316 or 187  |

Around the time the 295 was lost (not sure if it was before or after) one of its VWHs strayed onto the 487. It used to see many more decker workings when it was based at ON and its a shame both the A40 routes aren't being decked. |

Well the 487 is being converted to dd in 2030 when Old Oak Common Station is built up. |
