A S briefly reported in "The Com
mercial Motor" last week, the first post-war Green Line coaches went into service last Monday. Route 704, between Windsor and Tunbridge Wells, is equipped with the• new vehicles, 263 of which are on order for use on express services.
Powered by the A.E.C. 9.6-litre oil engine and with a wheelbase indentical with that of the R.T. double-decker, the new coaches mark a step forward in London Transport's standardization plans. Ease of maintenance has been most carefully considered in the design, even in such matters as the interior lighting fixtures, of which there are 30. New to London Transport is the use of Traffolite plastic material, which lines the body behind the luggage racks.
