Apart from the odd normal DD being found on the 464 but that's only atleast 3 if they if its fully allocated standard deckers. I doubt they've been bought in just for the evening 423 cross rivers...and the 2s getting withdrawn so won't be for them either

Wonder if they'll put the cross river branding on them? Hopefully they won't because they look better without it. Let's hope they don't put them on the new school contracts

No, 487 is non hybrid single deck route due to low bridges in Neston & the 423 mainly has single deckers allocated.

most likely to be used on the 410,the extra capacity should be useful there

Them Hybrid Gemini's would be fine for the 487 as they are low height.

The bridge they have to fit under is 13'9" and the apparent low height Gemini is 13'11"

Is it the Liverpool Road , Hinderton Road , Burton Road , West Vale or Marshland Road bridges that are the problem or a combination of them.

In the days of the 488 and 10B , the 10B saw double deckers so it couldn't be the Hinderton Road bridge that's the problem.

I belive it Liverpool Rd, Ladies Walk and Brook Street bridges which are the problem
