East Lancs Myllennium Lolyne East Lancs Myllennium Vyking

The East Lancs Myllennium Lowlander (or simply referred to as the East Lancs Lowlander) is the type of double-decker bus body built on the DAF/VDL DB250 chassis by East Lancashire Coachbuilders. The name "Lowlander" was derived from the chassis being built by a company from The Netherlands.

History

The Myllennium Lowlander superseded the old style East Lancs Lowlander, which was never released in the original design due to no orders being placed, therefore no examples of the previous model were built. East Lancs decided to retain the Lolyne/Myllennium Lolyne name for their bodies for Dennis Trident 2s rather than change the name to Lowlander, as they felt the name's association with The Netherlands would make it a fitting name for their body for the DAF DB250. It was eventually released in 2001, only ever being sold with East Lancs' "Myllennium" design. This is what has resulted in the Myllennium Lowlander, its new name, also being informally referred to as simply the Lowlander.
