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.

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!
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

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.

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?)
