East Lancs OmniTown

The East Lancs OmniTown was a low-floor midibus body sold in the United Kingdom by East Lancs and Scania, built by East Lancashire Coachbuilders on the Scania N94UB chassis, the single-decker version of the N94UD double-decker chassis. It grew out of a batch of short-wheelbase N94UBs that East Lancs bodied in early 2002 with its Myllennium midibus design for London Easylink; the OmniTown kept the Myllennium body but changed the front and rear panels to match those of Scania's OmniCity and OmniDekka. The first batch with the new panels went to Nottingham City Transport in 2004 for tram feeder services, and in 2006 it could briefly be ordered with Esteem style front and rear panels. The name is sometimes wrongly given to the chassis itself, a confusion that comes from the tangled history of Scania's products. The short Nottingham buses seat only 33 passengers.
