... Seems like they did it again... Check http://www.thisislondon.com/news/lon...icles/18511417 Do buses still have a prominent sign saying "This vehicle is X ft/ins high"? I remember seeing signs like this on old buses when I was a child, but I've not used buses much recently and on the occasions that I have, I've never seen a sign. If there is a clear sign, it's difficult to imagine how anyone could drive under a low bridge. You might take an unauthorised detour and discover a low bridge, but to drive under it rather than stopping to think "Help! What now?" is unforgivable. |

Yes. The double decker in which I travelled over the weekend was 14ft 6in, as writ in big figures just atop the windscreen above the steering wheel. -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |
