I'm guessing not but is there any reason why double deckers no longer appear on the 110 and 219? For the latter it's no longer included on the blind sets. If I was to speculate I would say it may have something to do with residential objection along the section of Trinity Road served only by the 219. Mind you this is only a shot in the dark guess. EDIT: accidentally deleted this post when I was trying to edit a spelling error That's interesting sounds a plausible reason. Something that I've thought about is that every single decker route at AL can officially accommodate double deckers, so this got me wondering is there another garage where all routes can take double deckers despite some of them being allocated single deckers? EDIT. A (Sutton) would be another one

A (Sutton) would be another one I don't know all the routes from S but the C1 can take double deckers but which has yet to have done so for the whole route (Connex did it between Victoria and South Kensington in relation to the underground).

DDs are able to go under a bridge that high. It would not been included on the blind sets if there was a low bridge. flic.kr/p/SrVQo7

This blind set was created after the extension was finalised (and it had been deferred many times).
