WHEN WE ARE TOLD DOUBLE DECKERS ARE SAFE, I REALLY WONDER!
 
NO DOUBLE DECKERS SHOULD BE USED ON A SCHOOL RUN BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF PUPILS ON ONE BUS!
 
AS FAR AS I AM AWARE STANDARD D/D BUSES CARRY  APPROX 72  THAT DOES NOT COUNT STANDING ROOM, MAYBE ADD 20 ?
 
SINGLE DECKED BUS  USED ON THE SCHOOL RUN ARE USUALLY OLDER BUSES THAT SEAT APPROX  AROUND 60
I STAND TO BE CORRECTED
 
THIS IS ONLY A SMALL LIST OF ACCIDENTS ON VARIOUS BUSES.MANY ARE LINKS TO SAVE SPACE
