Four BC ones on the road at this moment in time 4895/7, 4901/2

Liverpool Street

It has been confirmed that once all drivers get type training, of a Sunday the Enviros will see work on all roads. (Very similar of what they did with the Metros when the Tridents were new)

I dont think it'll be this Sunday as they're are over 500 drivers at BC and they all have yet to be typed.

The 58 hasn't any height issues, just the peoples houses didn't want double deckers looking through there upstairs windows. Maybe dont want to be caught flogging the bishop or what ever. We've had deckers round here for donkeys years with no nets upstairs. I dont see the issue.

Has there ever been a decker on the 99 or 636?

I know there was a B7RLE on the 99 not too long ago, wish I'd seen or ridden it

Never. Been ALX200's, Solos, B6's, B7RLE, E200 and a B10 if my memory serves me correctly.

I've never seen a decker. Before the E200s were introduced, there were plenty of B7RLEs including 3 in one day once, and before that Omnilinks, and further back still, Mercs on loan from BY. I think as Mr Rat has stated it's the trees on Wheeleys Road that prevent deckers being used - they are far too low hanging.

Of course, if the 99 was operated by PL garage, deckers would be commonplace...
