Length of ERMs

Would I be correct in saying that the Mac Tours ERMs are 33FT in length and seat 80 passengers?

My bus number (if any): RM967 (Driver & Restoration Consultant, bus owned by Tom Ireland)

Re: Length of ERMs

No, on both counts.

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RMC 1458 RM 1585 and several RTs

Re: Length of ERMs

Adding a standard 5' bay to an RM body will give you 32 feet and 6 inches for length. The extra seats are arranged in a non standard way which gives 72 like an RML.

My bus number (if any): RLH62
