Looking for lower deck emergency window and frame

Please let me know if you can help me find a lower deck emergency window and frame. Many thanks

Tim you could try PVS Boulder Bridge Road Barnsley they may still have one in an RML hulk up there - if by chance they still have one it may not be in any better condition than the one you are replacing though...... Good luck

Just a thought. if it's not going Class 6, use a plain window in its place.
I have done this a number of times.
I would think that any spare opening window would have been used for serving hatches on cafe/beer buses.

A certain RCL ran on a class 6 without a lower saloon emergency exit and a rebuilt open platform for quite a while with LT back in the day !

If going for PSV use, replace it as rob says and install a break glass hammer nearby.

Hi Tim,
If you still need a lower deck emergency window and frame, I have a spare one I could sell you. I just need to check the handle and linkage is all there as when I bought it years ago its was separate from the frame.

Will confirm after I have been to the buses at the weekend.

Regards,
Pete.
