Atlanteans No.'s 133-147

These vehicles were delivered between February 1980 and January 1981.

No.'s 143-147 were the first to be constructed with the modified East Lancs body styling with the flat end to the roof instead of the curled lip. All vehicles in this section had the 'high' driving position and the GMTPE style instrument panel.

No. 134 was delivered with square rear lights, all others were round.

In October 1985 No. 145 won an award for the 'Best Presentation of a Municipal Bus' at a bus rally.
