Like Park Royal, the other British Leyland bodybuilding subsidiary, Roe is this year showing two double-deckers. The first is a front entrance, centre exit body on a Daimler Fleetline chassis which is destined for Leeds City Transport. There are 78 seats in the 10m body which has restyled front and rear grp domes and two deep angled windscreens. As well as Clayton heaters in both upper and lower decks, the same manufacturer's units have also been specified to provide forced air ventilation for both saloons. Clayton units are used to provide, hot air curtains in front of the doors when they are open. All windows are of Triplex Sundym glass. A staircase passenger counting device is fitted.
The second vehicle on the stand is a front entrance /exit 72-seat double-deck body on an Atlantean AN 68 chassis for Kingston upon Hull Transport.
