Buses on Route 507, which travels between Waterloo and Victoria, will be

Why not double-deckers?

Because the roof at Waterloo is too low?


Hardly given the 211 uses the same terminal point and route into and out
of Waterloo Station.


They used to use the taxi road (the one with the glass canopy over it),
with a bus stop right in front of the station concourse. I haven't been
there for some time so maybe this is no longer the case.

They both use the taxi road and come round under the station roof and
park on the slope by the main entrance just as they always have.

I haven't seen a double decker at that point and did not think that
there was enough clearance for one. Thanks for the photo.
