Hi Tony, It's taken a few weeks of spotting but here are the seat trims for Pensnett's deckers:

4135      Grey Dot
      
4191      TWM (although half of it appears to have been retrimmed a few years ago)
4192      TWM
4193      Grey Dot
4194      Grey Dot*
4195      Toothpaste (haven't seen this one yet to confirm it, but it can be seen on a photo)
4196      Toothpaste
4197      Grey Dot*
4198      TWM
4199      Grey Dot
4200      TWM
4201      TWM
4202      Toothpaste
      
4346      TWM
4347      Grey Dot
4348      Grey Dot
4349      Grey Dot
4350      Toothpaste
4351      Grey Dot*
4352      Grey Dot
4353      Grey Dot
4354      Toothpaste
4355      Toothpaste
4356      Grey Dot

*These have been refurbished after moving to PE so should be in the grey trim, but I haven't seen them in the last few weeks to confirm.


There are some odd seats that I know of on the E400s as well, although they've been there for that long it might be sad to see them go:
4803 has a Toothpaste style cushion on one of the upper deck offside seats
4819 has a Toothpaste style pull down seat in the buggy area
4820 has a TWM style seat cushion on one of the upper deck nearside seats
4829 has a TWM style seat back on one of the nearside high backed seats downstairs

Meanwhile I have put some 9 year old train videos on YouTube

I thought levantes were NX work / kings ferry only?

They are a batch of 5 that were new on National Express work when Stagecoach operated some duties. Stagecoach then moved them up to Scotland for the X77, and they have now moved down to Rugby as megabus vehicles. I have a photo of one of them in X77 livery here http://wmbusphotos.com/Stagecoach/59303.html

Looks very smart, @Tony , definite improvement on the NX plain white haha! And thanks for explaining the situation though. Does stagecoach still do any NX franchised work?

Stagecoach still do quite a bit of NX work, particularly in the Kent and West Yorkshire areas.

Arriva & First no longer do any NX work. Go Ahead operates quite a quantity through its Oxford Bus Company, Wilts & Dorset and Go Northern divisions.
