I’m looking for a couple of pictures where a HGV came into contact with a low bridge. As far as I can remember, the bridged was about 10 foot high, and was in the Liverpool area (certainly in the North West, I remember that much)… They were posted about 2 or 3 months ago (I think), but despite searching high and low through the forums, I can’t find them.
I’m asking, because a Road vs Rail topic has been started on another forum I’m on, and I would like to use them to make a point.
Looks a bit like the double decker I seen a few weeks back that had decided he would get under the low bridge at Hinckley .
Luckily it had more or less just happened and I could still carry on , the police were escorting him down the road to park up .
Curtainsider as well , stuff hanging out of it , trailer all ripped up .
This looks like the 10ft bridge at Russell Rd. which is a continuation of Sussex Rd. as I seem to remember that is the only “Really Low” bridge in Southport (in low I mean below 13 ft.).
As when I was an apprentice at the bus depot in Canning Rd. in the early 60,s all the staff were banned from using this road even in single deck buses so as not to forget the height.
Even the “Matador” tow truck wasn,t allowed to use that road they had to go down Crowland st. instead.
Blimey I bet that driver wishes HE had a tape measure
