Hence why the busier section of the 487 Route in Tranmere could benefit from deckers, which could be achieved by swapping the routes around.

Which bridges in Neston are too short for a decker? I assume some are high enough as I’ve seen deckers on the 272 occasionally.

The 272 used to come down Hinderton Rd which is a high bridge, round ladies walk and straight back down Burton Rd to Little Neston. When it was recently rerouted to service Ladies Walk and Brook Street the deckers have stopped being used as they won't fit under the bridge at the station.

If I remember rightly Arriva Hybrids are 13'11 (or are they 13'10?) so won't fit
