As the company I worked for at the time only had single deck vehicles it was nothing we had to deal with at the time because our routes did not go under low bridges, however, there are companies that do and in that respect they do have or should have an alternative route if a double deck vehicle is put on the route and it is then down to the driver to follow that route to the letter.

While it may seem ridiculous for me to say this, the driver could possibly have had a momentary loss of concentration and thus forgot he/she was driving a decker, sounds lame I know but as we all know, it can and does happen now and again.

Apparently in a large number of bus strikes earphones are responsible as the driver isn’t fully concentrating on the road. That fact came from Network Rail apparently.
