There are still other routes it could take in the past it often use to operate via Scotswood Road when other routes were blocked and it could also travel the old 602 route via Western by pass and into the MetroCentre via Retail Park. In addition I can remember as I child vaguely travelling on an old Atlantean on 100
The route they use is via Scotswood View, Cross Lane and Wellington Street - of which there is a 14ft height restricted bridge. So while Stagecoach's E400s can fit under there (they are 13ft 10in), they don't risk it after the deroofing of one of the C-LFT Leyland Olympian when more-or-less brand new back in 1986.
