The bridge is obliviously wrong height sighed, so they should get it reactified
I know my road signs buddy hahaha been driving for 12 years, It's not the issue here you knew that anyway
I don’t think I’ve seen a double decker go under that bridge normally, and most double decks that have gone under it have gotten stuck.

It is not contrary facts, proposed changes are often altered due to requirements.
The old 66 bus route went under kilbowie road bridgeI don’t think I’ve seen a double decker go under that bridge normally, and most double decks that have gone under it have gotten stuck.

Double decker bus stuck under Kilbowie Road bridge
A double decker bus has got stuck under a bridge in the town centre.
Might be my memory playing tricks but I'm sure that the LO fleet of Olympians based at Larkfield for this route used to have the letter H applied to indicate it was too high for this bridge. Strathclyde had a batch of Olympians built to a "low height" configuration for this route.
Early number LOs as i recall up to LO 21 I maybe wrong about 21 being the highest
I drove the Larkfield LOs for many years, including the low height examples which were the normal allocation on the 66/66A/66B. There was no H applied to the full height examples, or anything else to indicate they couldn’t be used on the 66s. In those days the people working at the depot just seemed to know what could/couldn’t be allocated. Hard to believe in this day and age!!
I don't know why I would think that then. I lived next to Knightswood garage in those days so I saw the buses on a daily basis. Maybe it was their allocation and it might been the VO's they used after the 66 was extended to Knightswood. If you've went to the hassle of getting a batch specially made it would make sense to easily identify them.
The 66 was extended to Knightswood long before the LOs were delivered and when AVs and LAs ruled the roost!I don't know why I would think that then.

Alternatively, perhaps I did imagine it.
Was there not a batch of Alexander bodied Olympians that were low height? Maybe VO's as opposed to LO's.
Yes, there was a batch of 50 low height Leyland Olympians and these were L registered and a few years later similarly bodied Volvo Olympians both N and P registered were also able to run on the 66 group of routes.
Wonder if it will be the 66 plates or the 18 plates E400MMCs, I've been on a few of them when I've been down that way and they're quite nice inside
Hopefully if any of the above does come up it gets an internal refurb like the solos.
They have 50 E400MMCs in total 20 18 plates and 30 66 plates so quite a lot to be dished out around the Country
Looking at Flickr photos, ones that are still in local liveries have red Lazerrini seats while Ultraviolet ones have the new part leather seats, so exact same case as the Solos. The ultraviolet trim really suits them
They're nice inside, been on 3 different ones a few years ago when I was down that way
They’re all the same
Could Glasgow lose all its remaining Gemini’s if it were to gain the vast majority of these MMC’s? You’d expect the X25/X25A vehicles to be from this intake as well. I’m no expect on this, just looking at numbers!
No because there's a shortage, need the extra vehicles to operate the X25/X25A, Not concrete yet if we will be getting any of the deckers
