I assume it would be like GNE, as the Metrocentre don't really like deckers on the X66 route, much rather see a B10 over a B7. Whichever type of single decker you put on the 100 it would get filled, nature of the 100.

Think your getting confused about this Matt.

Stagecoach has never put a decker on the 100. Let alone one losing it's roof.

The only incidents in Tyne and Wear which resulted in a bus losing it's roof would be the bridge at the Avenue in Wallsend claiming at least 2 buses. One being 16717 and the other been a nearly new Enviro 400.

I do have a feeling you might be referring to 16833 which was deroofed at Metal Bridge (near Ferryhill) whilst operating the X90 which ran via the Metrocentre. This happened around 2001.
