QHEFFIELD UNITED TOURS, LTD., have won the race to place in service the first public service vehicle taking advantage of the recent extension of the maximum legal dimensions to 36 ft. long and 8 ft. 2+ in. wide. Based on an A.E.C. Reliance chassis, it has a Plaxton Panorama body with luxury seating for 44 passengers.
The additional length and width has permitted the standard of accommodation to be improved over that of the company's existing 36-seaters built to the previous 30-ft. long and 8-ft. wide limits. An inauguration ceremony was held on Tuesday.
