Double on the 66 ?

[Nathan4775]

Im just curious if there has ever been a double decker on
66/66A
68/68A when it was around
654

[DC3]

Wouldn't have been one on the 68, because of the low bridge on park lane

[Lukeee]

There was one on the 66 when it ran to Erdington.

Yes I have a photo somewhere of a 42xx B7 on loan to Bordesley on the 66

tony would you get a double deck under the bridge at erdington station?? the present 66 and 66a are all singles.......and both go under the bridge?

No you wouldn't, my photo was before the 66 was extended to Sutton Coldfield

654 only ever seen solos or once when it was loan 506 or something like that
Never seen a omnilink and let alone a double decker on there

Ive never seen an ominlink, B1OL or double on 651/654

4281 was on the 654 a few weeks ago, and I have heard of another double on there before, a while ago now (No idea what). I have never seen an OmniLink or B10L on those either. The loadings that I see only need a Solo. Only on Loan B6LE's from Central and Walsall have been on the 651/4.

[swifty]

4281 was on the 651 on a Saturday duty during the Summer once. Obviously there was either a shortage at PB or an engineer decided to have a right laugh while the boss was distracted  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I was once allocated a metrobus for a 68 running board I refused the offer to make history and had a lynx instead

There is a 66A journey 1610 from Court Lane, Perry Common to Sutton Coldfield always a double decker from school bus 869.

The original 68 in 1989 City-Castle Vale-Sutton Coldfield using Metrobuses

Soon diverted to Erdington/new Oscott using Lynxs and odd National

Why don't they put omnilinks or double Deckers on the 654?

Is that a question or a suggestion? - VERRRY narrow roads, just wide enough for a Solo, or SWB E200. (Which was/is the 654's allocation)
