HOW THE ENGINE WAS ENCAPSULATED IN THE DENNIS JUBILANT

This is a view of how the bulky Gardner 6LXB was encapsulated and cantilevered out over the front axle to allow OPO. The passenger access around the engine doesn't look to bad, but would preclude the use of wheelchairs or baby buggies, pretty well essential on today's buses. I bet the drivers found the cabs hot and noisy also. This bus has the Duple Metsec version of the bodied bus.
