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.
