Chronology | |
Predecessor | East Lancs MaxCi |
Successor | East Lancs Flyte |
A step-entrance design, it was similar in appearance to the low-floor MaxCi on the N113CRL, but had a straight window line as opposed to a stepped/sloped one.
A total of 79 Europeans were built, of which besides five that were purchased by Yorkshire Traction, 59 were purchased by companies owned by the British Bus group.[1] These companies were Luton & District (taking 27),[2] Northumbria Motor Services (20), Midland Fox (14), Clydeside 2000 (eight)[3][4] and Derby City Transport (five).
The European was superseded in late 1996 by the Flyte.
