Description: | Most single-decker buses purchased by London Transport from the late 1960s onwards were of a standard 8ft (244cm) width. However on some routes, a narrower vehicle was called for. This BN-type is an example of the bus that was built with a narrow body of only 7ft 6in (228cm) wide and a shorter chassis.
A total of 44 of this size of BN-type bus were ordered for use by London Country Bus Services Ltd (LCBS). Built to be light in weight with under floor engines, they were popular with operators for their durability although their suspension was sometimes criticised.
In operation throughout the 1970s and 1980s, they were particularly used on rural routes throughout Britain.
This bus had a fairly short life with LCBS, being sold on 22.9.82 to K.Jackson, Holmbury St. Mary. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1977 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Manufacturer : Eastern Coach Works | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
