Im sure in bus driver life bridge bashing is one of the biggest most embarrassing thinks you can do .

The first time the forum wouldn't take it .

There is road in Neston that goes under the Wirral Way and bypasses the centre of Neston between the Burton Road and Parkgate Road , this bridge has a maximum centre of the road dimension of 6ft 6 inch , does anybody know of any road that can beat that .

There is one very very narrow bridge by Aintree Retail Park, Heysham Road that is very narrow and very low

The Google Maps car doesn't even go under the bridge!

I know one of the Leyland national's , yes a Leyland national was involved in a bridge bash a good few years back in the St Helens area , it must have been a really tiny underbridge that one .

Definitely much missed. Another member who created a bit of humour at the time I recall was LA 1449 - a case of whatever happened to.
