Full Leather Seats are not only rock hard but to hot in the summer or to cold in the Winter, the Leather parts on the NX Platnium's get Warm or Cold but the main area where you seat is obviously Fabric so it is fine.

cardiff bus uses a mixed design as well, leather headrest/fabric main. im on about the seat design itself which ive seen best described as fabric stretched over a metal frame. reading buses i think also uses the same design.

Stagecoach uses plain grey leather seats now, used to have blue accenting but they dropped it for whatever reason

Before that it was the classic fabric moquette and sometime between 2015-2020 orange and blue leather for the highbacks

it seems to have chaserider legals on the skirt panel, perhaps its just on loan after paint being euro6 for a bit . They could send a clapped out solo to D&G and keep the MMC and hope they dont notice lol  :police:

Centrebus have also acquired 4 Enviro200s from the bus shop that are in airport spec and were previously with First Leicester for the EMA contract service all 18 plates

Understand they'll be allocated to D&G bis

Are they like that vehicle I used to see on the old service 1, where it seemed to be more luggage racks than seats?

Yeah they are similar probably have them removed before entering service though
