Low bridges

[John]

What about the 66 & 66A?

The bridge under Erdington rail station

[notepanel]

You've got the 38 (and consequently the interworked 34/39) in Walsall. Double decks can not fit under the bridge by Bradford Place.

And the 600

That bridge must also be in with a shout of one of the lowest (if not THE lowest) with a marked height of 10'6" I think. Just barely enough for Omnilinks.

The bridge under Bornville Station on the 27 route is marked 10'0".

You can just about get an Omnilink under it

I think you're wrong there, I'm sure it was 9'6" but it must of been marked up wrong as a B7rle fits under on the staff journey.

Sorry, it is 10'0" but a B7rle does fit.


Staff route also takes you under:




Junct. Mill Lane/Station Road/Quarry Lane

What about the 66 & 66A?

The bridge under Erdington rail station

And just south of that on the 28

Wright Eclipse 2 B7RLE is 10' 6" tall (according to the notice in the drivers cab, noticed today while on the 37 home)

There isn't a low bridge on the 243 is there? I know I should know, but I can't seem to remember, however there has never been a double decker on a 243 board as far as I remember

Yeah, there's one on Grainger's Lane in Cradley Heath, after the High St

This is the bridge at Cradley Heath the 53/243 goes under. I thought it was but looking at it on streetview i cant see anything signwise - http://goo.gl/maps/vD5dn

This is the one on the 217 - http://goo.gl/maps/u1n3f

That is close! I reckon you could fit a Spectra under there, but a Trident or E400, perhaps not quite.

Having said that, I'd expect it to have been signposted if it was a danger to buses

Although, it does explain why the only times an Enviro400 has been on the 244 (only happened twice in my memory), it's been on the 9pm 244 which is off a 276, and returns to the 276 after doing the 244, hence avoiding the 243

The Highway rule is all bridges UNDER 5m SHOULD have their height displayed. As Most standard Double Deckers are 4.4m or under if a bridge has no sighnage then it is possible for a decker to go under safely

Isnt the bridge on the 217 route the one that the 139 tried to get under about 8ish years ago??
