The extra “T” in the chassis designation stands for Trailing Axle, a three-axle (six-wheel) rigid chassis layout. In the 1930s, UK regulations permitted longer vehicle bodies if they utilised a third axle to distribute the weight safely. This meant that bus operators could could increase the amount of seats to carry more passengers.
