I think some go into auto pilot mode. They get so used to driving the same routes all the time, they ignore the road signs and forget that someone at the depot wrongly allocated a decker on to a route that should only have single deckers.

Obviously in the case of the 100 route it's normally deckers so must have left its normal route.

Just looked on Google streetview. There's height barriers before the bridge in both directions saying 3.5m. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Barton...FQAw%3D%3D
