| Britbus R400, R500, R600, R700, R800 & R900 Series Alexander R & RH Double Deck Buses |
  |
The Britbus R Series contains seven variants of the Alexander R & RH double deck bus, the models can be produced in both single & dual door form and with various destination blind layouts. Some versions also have split height front entrances. The R700 series depicts the Belfast built version of the body and this features a different window layout to that found on all the other versions, some of the models in the R700 Series have been released in the Irbus branded range. The first R Series models were released in late 2004 and a steady stream of releases has followed since then with the first pair of the newest R40X variant being released at the very end of 2009. |
