No, they have 15m rigid double deck and singles running sested
services and three 18m artic singles on the Glasgow-London Sleeper.
IIRR only Setra (1) Berkhof (1) and Neoplan (about five over ten
years) actually ever produced double-deck artics, an again IIRR most
of these only had an upper-deck corridor, ISTR that two of the
Neoplan Jumboliners are now registered in the UK as band-transports.
