East Lancs EL2000

East Lancs EL2000

The East Lancs EL2000 is a type of single-deck bus body built on a wide variety of chassis by East Lancashire Coachbuilders.

Chassis

Many different chassis types, both new and secondhand, were fitted with EL2000 bodywork. These include:

* Leyland Leopard (rebodies)
* Leyland Tiger (rebodies)
* Leyland Atlantean (rebodies)

* Volvo B58 (rebodies)
* Volvo B10M (both new and rebodies)
* Volvo B6

* Dennis Falcon
* Dennis Dart
* Dennis Lance

* Scania K93
* Scania N113

The Atlantean chassis had started their lives as double-deck vehicles but were rebodied as single-deckers.

History

The EL2000 made its first appearance on rebodied Leyland Tigers at the end of 1989. It was superseded as a step-entrance body by the Flyte, starting in 1996.

Description

The EL2000 has an aluminium frame. It has bowed sides and a bowed top half of the rear end, with a high-set rear window.

There was some variability in the height and shape of the side windows, and the style of windscreen. One common design of windscreen was square-cornered, tapered in towards the top and curved around to the sides. Another was a two-piece flat windscreen with radiused outer corners. A third design used was a double-curvature windscreen with arched top.
