‘Scene’ on a visit to Plaxton’s at Scarborough
on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
I was fortunate recently to go on a conducted tour of Plaxtons factory at Eastfield, Scarborough.
Now part of the Alexander Dennis Ltd. (ADL) group.
Production at Scarborough is of ADL E20D/ ADL Enviro 200MMC’s and ADL E40D / ADL Enviro 400MMC’s.
In addition Plaxton’s coach range, the Elite, Leopard, Panther and Cheetah all come from the same site.
This is what goes into the making of it.
Engines and transmissions arrive at the factory pre assembled.
At this early stage, the assembly is carried on an underframe which carries the soon to be bus down the production line.
The floor, wheel arches and front bulkhead are in place.
