(16 Jul 2018, 6:06 pm)Dan Low branches like to hit into upper-deck windscreens causing costly damage! Another day of B9TLs on the 16s suggest nothing has changed as of yet...
As for the B9s, yes partly to do with passenger numbers on the 47 at peak times but mainly because the buses were pretty much readily available (and they were cheaper than brand new double-decks!)
I'd think it'd be more likely for a batch of brand new double-decks to replace the entire allocation rather than four more Streetlites bought to join the existing Streetlite allocation... but that'd be my thoughts for a different thread.

Fully agree.
It was your comment (for all I say 'your', this is by no means me playing the blame game) about a review and I just couldn't think of why a review would need to take place for low branches when all they would have to do is make the local authority aware so they can go out and trim them back. After going up and down the same road for 3 years, a review to potentially remove them from the services didn't seem right either. Both of these thoughts is why I put forward the suggestion that there was something else causing an issue too.
Appreciate that I probably look like a fool, but I've got to do something to fill in all this spare time I've got now!
