oh ok fair enough, I was just adding two and two together since the last time a double decker did the 216 was the day of the crash. For the 209 incident I'm aware it was a single decker that caused the crash but a double decker bus going through a small residential street is more likely to crash. I don't know why a double decker option was considered has Hammersmith Bridge would have stopped them for appearing maybe they thought they thought the bridge would be fixed much quicker than it was. Obviously the 72 was won with double decker buses. The 297, E1, E3 and H12 use double deckers and they all go along small residential streets and don’t have problems. Yes this is true the actual road its self I don't think would be the problem. It's the turn into the bus station I would worry about.

Something other than a VWH on the 295

Obviously extremely unlikely to happen but a brand new SE on the 485 before the route passes to PL.

Trident on the 161/422
Obviously this won't happen because the Tridents at PD are only blinded for the 53/96/122/177/472 and generally only appear on the 472. I'll dream...

LT on the 285. LT or an Enviro 400 MMC on the 490.

DN or MV or VN or DNH on the 218 (I hope that it's cleared for double deckers)

I'd also like to see a Smart Hybrid on the 278

DN or MV or VN or DNH on the 218 (I hope that it's cleared for double deckers) Have DDs successfully navigated the 440 between Acton and North Acton? I think the turns around North Acton Playing Fields would be problematic but I don't have any evidence to support this

I think the turns around North Acton Playing Fields would be problematic but I don't have any evidence to support this Because of the low Bridge in Chiswick DDs (when it went via Acton Green) have never gone on the 440. But TfL do like to send double deckers on rail replacement along the 440 route between Acton and North Acton.

I'm sceptical a DD could easily do those turns, happy to be proven wrong though
