Definitely no doubledeckers are going to get under the 3.8m bridge at the northern entrance to Chelmsford's Bus Station. It has probably claimed some roofs over the years, indeed it may have damaged some singledeckers if they failed to take a centre path under the railway lines. Learning how to avoid that is the driver of trainer bus 66860 (MX05CHY), a Wright bodied Volvo B7RLE new to First Manchester. Heading into the tunnel is Enviro200MMC 44660 (YX66WBE).
