East Lancs Flyte

East Lancs Flyte

The East Lancs Flyte is a type of bus body built on several different chassis types by East Lancashire Coachbuilders.

Chassis

Chassis types on which the Flyte was built include:
* Scania L113CRL
* Scania K112CRB and K113CRB (rebodies)
* Volvo B6 (rebody) ()
* Leyland Tiger (rebodies)
* Volvo B10M (new and rebodies)
* KIRN Mogul (unique chassis, bodied for Yorkshire Traction)

History

The Flyte was introduced in 1996 as a step-entrance counterpart to the Spryte. It was essentially a development of the Opus 2 design which had appeared earlier the same year. The Flyte had a new front end design based on the Spryte (though two Volvo B10Ms for Delaine had the Opus 2 front end).

A large proportion of the Flyte's orders were for the rebodying of older chassis. In the severely dwindling market for step-entrance rebodies, the Flyte was superseded by the Hyline around 2000-2001.
