298 is getting double decked in new tender award. It already has some double deckers Yes but they aren't contracted to the 298 and the 298 only sees so many because of the problems with the SL's in the Sullivan Buses fleet of which a few have been permanently withdrawn. What seems to happen is AE's from the W9 get used on the 299 & 389/399 to cover for SL's, W9 uses AE's from the 298 and the 298 uses deckers mainly from the school routes. |

I can't remember if the 298 has a school DD journey or am I thinking of the 313 before it went DD? |

Is the H11 clear for double deckers does it have any restrictions? No restrictions AFAIK. I've seen Metroline trainer DDs run between Pinner and North Harrow before and the rest of the route does see the occasional DD rail rep working. |

Gonna try do all routes in West London off the top off my head:
Uxbridge
U9 - Length restriction and Low trees near Harefield West
U10 - Low trees in Ickenham and Ruislip
331 - Low trees in Harefield and Northwood
Hayes
E6 - Low trees near Yeading Retail Park
Southall
E5 - Length restriction around Golf Links Estate
Hounslow/Harrow
117 - Low bridge at Isleworth Station
H9/H10 - Low bridge just before Harrow And Wealdstone Station
H20 - Length restrictions
H28 - Low trees in Osterley
Harlesden
228 - Infamous Old Oak Common Bridge
Stanmore/Edgware
384 - Length restrictions
That's the most I can think of, if there any routes I've missed in areas feel free to chip in.

What low bridge before Watford Way? Only towards Brent Cross Tesco, just after Grove Gardens In Hendon, there is a little tunnel the 324 goes through to get to Watford Way which has a very low height. |

There doesn’t seem to be any height restriction for that bridge so double deckers most be able to get under that bridge. |

Are there any I missed? |

That bridge is 3 inches short from allowing DDs on the H28. Thank you |
