The first ECW batch(like 702, left) had the staircase immediately behind the cab, like the preceding Atlanteans. The following batches (like 780, right), and the Alexander-bodied Olympians which followed them, had the staircase positioned more centrally, opposite the exit. This layout also raised capacity from 81 to 83 seats.

780 turns into Salisbury Place, May 1998

702 ascends the High Street, September 1999
