Hello guys which routes are forced to be single decker due to low hanging bridges along the route, only ones i can remember is 27 which has the one in borurneville
66 Station Road Erdington and 28 Summer Road Erdington
Walsall's 38 has a low bridge coming right out of Bradford Place. It also forces the 34 to be SD only due to them interworking. The 428/429 I think is forced SD although I could be wrong on that one.
17 - Tile Cross
71 - Park Lane
30 - Lincoln Road North
S3 - Dorridge

The 30 used to be Metrobus operated, they were just able to pass under that bridge if the bus was in the middle of the road! Modern double deckers wouldn't stand a chance!
Dwindling few in the Coventry district:
Woodshires Road, Longford - 20E - 13 feet.
Wolfe Road, Canley - 43/43A - 12 feet 3 - the replacement service 801 from 21st October will be avoiding this bridge I believe.
Station Road, Old Hill, 297 route.
The road under this particular bridge had to be lowered in the 1970's as WMPTE couldn't fit Leyland Nationals under because of their roof pod.

Look what it done to 2057, 3 weeks old at the time!

Isn't there one on the Clayhanger route in Brownhills?
Sure a Metrobus got caught a few years back?
(Mind you why would an out of service bus from Brownhills returning to Walsall depot go via Clayhanger anyway?)
