Bostock's Neoplan Skyliner PN07 EHG - a photo on Flickriver

            The iconic Neoplan Skyliner double-deck coach was introduced in 1967, it was the world's first integral 4-metre high double-deck coach, originally it was 11-metre in length and rode on two-axles, and looked similar  to the W.C. Standerwick ECW Bristol VRL. The 12-metre three-axle Skyliner N122/3 was introduced in 1970, in 1973 the front of the Skyliner was restyled and featured the raked back upper-deck front windscreen, which became the design feature of the Skyliner.  The 100th Skyliner was built in 1973, followed in 1976 by the 150th Skyliner, by 1981 the 500th Skyliner had been built. 

Neoplan entered the UK market in 1980, the West Country operator Trathens became the first operator in the UK to put two Skyliners on the road in late 1981. For the UK market a Gardner engine option for the Skyliner was added in 1984. Plaxton did a deal with Neoplan for them to supply the Skyliner underframe for Plaxton to body with the Paramount 4000 body, sadly it proved to be a flop with only 24   Paramount 4000  Neoplan Skyliners  built. The UK Neoplan dealer Carlton PSV built a Skyliner from a kit sent over from Germany. Neoplan introduced a new generation of Skyliner in 2007 with no right hand drive version available for the UK market. The final Skyliners for the UK market entered service  in 2007. The  two largest UK customers for the Neoplan Skyliner were Trathen Travel Services and Stagecoach, in total less the 400 Skyliners were sold in the UK.
