THE latest BET group operator to switch to Daimler Fleetline rearengined double-deckers is East Yorkshire Motor Services Ltd., of Hull, which has ordered 12 of this model. In recent years the company has standardized on AEC Bridgemaster and more recently Park Royal-bodied AEC Renown doubledeckers, with specially adapted top decks to facilitate passage through the Beverley Bar. The new Fleetlines will also be fitted with-low-height bodies with
specially modified top decks: no decision has yet been made regarding bodybuilder.
Following hard on the heels of the Grimsby-Cleethorpes and Halifax orders for extended-wheelbase Fleetlines to take 33 ft single-deck bus bodies comes the announcement that Bury Corporation Transport has ordered three similar chassis, The buses will have a wheelbase of 18 ft. 6 in. and the rear seat will be mounted above the transverse rear engine.
