Features 'The Knight Bus' - this magical triple decker bus is represented in the movie by a modified AEC Regent III RT. Lettering inside shows it carrying 9 passengers, that is, H3/3/3R rather than the usual H30/36R: A warning inside the lower deck also warns passengers that 'beds will slide when bus is in motion'!
