I Thought Clean Air Was Important....

Clearly it isn't, according to Go-Ahead London. Route 129 had always been single-deck, using buses like these, which were in a common user pool concerning routes 108 and 129:

ED4, a Dart Evolution, on route 108, in Blackheath.
  However, the route was constantly using Enviro 400 DD's from route 36, and on most days of the week they made up the full PVR. Euro 5 Enviro's are certainly better for the environment than Euro 3 Wrightbus Eclipse Gemini's, but on Saturday 7th June, the route gained four 12 year old Gemini 1's, so that the 36's Enviro's can actually run the route they're allocated to.


The rear of a rather ancient-looking WVL77, in Greenwich Town Centre.
  The route itself is very short, going from Greenwich Town Centre-North Greenwich, meaning the route is less than 3 miles long.
Two buses on stand at once.

Pointless curtailment: The route is 3 miles long, I don't even think there was a gap big enough to curtail a bus.
