Rural services in Stratford upon Avon

 Yesterday I was in Stratford upon Avon to see a play with my family. Whilst we were driving down, we stopped for lunch in Charlecote (a small village off the main road). With an hourly Sunday service, it is very well served by Stagecoach Warwickshire's Sundays only 18A (X15/X18 Mon-Sat every 30 mins) which normally runs with double deckers providing outstanding views of the lovely countryside from. Today however, it was just single deckers as the photos below show. Looking at passenger numbers, they are very low and it will be surprising if this marginal service continues, particularly with council cutbacks and BSOG reductions looming.
The buses in question are a Dennis Dart and a Volvo B10M,both very powerful rural buses.
