Would a 'three bell' have indicated to the driver that the bus/trolleybus was full?

I suppose they would be that close to the city.

The single decker is interesting i wonder which route that might have been operating.
 
The 36 route, Stechford, Wash Lane , Kings Road, Foreman’s Road etc, used to have a lot of the single decker buses on the route.
 
The 36, when introduced in the late 1930's to Stechford, was always double deck buses until 1967 when the AEC Swifts arrived. Low passenger numbers were the reason as far as I know.

Were they the buses that had very few seats and lots of space for strap hanging passengers.
