The new coaches seated 57 passengers, an increase of 18 over the existing RF single-decker coaches. No changes are were made to the timetable on the service, and travellers benefited from the increased seating, particularly in the peaks.

The new coaches also set a new standard of comfort, with their luxurious seats, fluorescent lighting, heating and folding doors across the platform. With air suspension fitted to the rear wheels, the coaches gave a ride as smooth as a private car.
