ANEW Leyland Atlantean 78-seater which has entered service with Liverpool Transport Department is the third experimental high-capacity double-decker to be tested by the undertaking within the past 12 months, the others being an A.E.C. Regent V and an A.E.C. Royal Bridgemaster with air suspension.
The Leyland has a ramped lower saloon floor to avoid the 5-in. step over the rear axle hitherto standard in the Atlantean. Transmission is fully automatic, and heaters are fitted in both saloons. Ventilators are of the quarter-drop type and remain in any desired position.
