Some say that, on especially still days, you could almost hear the arch purr afterward.
Made me smile

This is why you don’t contract out essential public services. Even if they can technically do the job, they’ll just never have the same heart in it.

Why wouldn’t you just use regular busses for that route?

Because the top is wider and they wouldn’t fit.

i think they were talking about simple deck bus in opposition to double deck(er?)

In the UK, double-decker was the standard form of motor bus since their introduction in the late 1800s. Before being manufactured as purpose-built ICE vehicles, they came in all shapes and sizes (PDF warning), but they mostly standardised on double-deckers because of the extra carrying capacity.
This bus was launched in around 1940, and surprisingly they almost chose to demolish the gate to permit standard double-decker buses instead.

Because this is clearly much cooler?

Refactor: upgraded dated bus to latest model.

And that archway never ended up with any resident birds or bats for some reason.
