Yep, the road that goes under Bache station has a low bridge, MTL later Arriva used a well known diversion route the current 1 route, avoiding the low bridge when they operated the 11/11C/12/12C as deckers were always allocated to those routes, the 1 is quite often standing room only & definitely needs upgrading to deckers but the old route in Bache meant deckers couldn't be used because of the low bridge.
