johnfromstaffs ◊ 2025-05-01 14:48	What you are looking at is not a bus with an extra large rear window, it is a 7ft 6in wide RT or RTL. The other buses that appear to have smaller rear windows are 8ft 0in wide types, the additional width in the red panels between the rear windows and the start of the advertising confirming this. Unfortunately there were thousands of 7ft 6in wide RT type buses, and no discernible difference between a Leyland and an AEC from the views available. So the window is similar in size but the whole bus is narrower.

What you are looking at is not a bus with an extra large rear window, it is a 7ft 6in wide RT or RTL. The other buses that appear to have smaller rear windows are 8ft 0in wide types, the additional width in the red panels between the rear windows and the start of the advertising confirming this. Unfortunately there were thousands of 7ft 6in wide RT type buses, and no discernible difference between a Leyland and an AEC from the views available.
