If they were any good, I'd have expected Central Buses to be keeping them

I'm sure there's another "Buses for Sale" thread, but I can't seem to find it.

Anyways, anyone after a Streetlite for £20,000. See below lol. No warranty given. Very alarming. Ex Diamond 20978.

Noticed these 7 vehicles listed on Chartwell Bus Sales as low height vehicles. The height on the website says 4.2m.
From Google Maps street view it says the bridge in Erdington on Summer Road is 4.3m. So does that mean these double deckers would fit under that bridge?

I was wandering if they fit under it, as never realised any sort of double decker would go under that low bridge before?

If there was some sort of double decker that goes under some of the low bridges, I would have thought it would be good for passengers and provide extra capacity on those routes/allow people to keep apart with COVID though.

The Metroriders used to be used on the 28, and I'm sure they took a similar route in Erdington.

Not necessarily as reduced height means reduced headroom. I find it difficult walking along the top deck of low height buses.

When I lived in Canada, I had to duck down at least six inches to stand up on the top deck. It was literally a pain in the neck!
