Last week Labour councillors met with the bus firm to secure a new commitment to deal with potential overcrowding.
As a result, all buses on the 52 and First's 52a route will now be double-decker.

Stagecoach have now committed to exploring how additional buses could help further reduce overcrowding at peak times.
Councillor Ben Curran, of Walkley ward, said:Â 'Residents told me that a reduced 52 service would lead to over-crowding, so I am glad that our campaigning has led to Stagecoach committing to closely monitor this route and ensuring that residents aren't left behind or standing on crowded buses.
'I will be working closely with the operator and the Council to make sure that this is delivered from day one.'
