Rode 4370 this morning - in the NX scheme looking very smart - unfortunately the interior is still the old interior - worn TWM seats! Why has it not had the new Grey dot trim fitted?

Same with 4588. Its seats haven't been replaced!

I wonder if 4519 is the same, as that was turned around pretty quick

Will the seats be replaced later or is this a change of NXWM policy?
I thought the feedback from 4177 was that the travelling public like the new seat covers as it gives the impression of a new bus

NX better not just be doing the exterior now - look where that policy from 2008 to 2010 left them - it's a large let down - 4370's seats are threadbare on the edges - looks a mess.

4362, Currently in for refurb isnt much better either! Does seem a bit if a step backwards but maybe theres a reason, new moquette on the cards maybe?

mranon

seat backs/cushions can be changed easily enough. maybe theres a delay with trim shop. or could be they are trying to get twm livery eliminated as quickly as possible

If the seats are changed by the garages the bus will spend more time off the road
At the moment the seat pads are sent away for re trim while the body work is repaired and prepared for painting so minimizing the time the vehicle is of the road
Also the garages have not got a good track record at replacing seats, hence the vehicles running round with multiple patterns

I find the red and shite livery suits the Geminis.. Oddly on other pictures I think it doesn't but on your shot it looks like it does. Good photo.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

That is a great picture and that Gemini looks absolutely stunning! They look even nicer without the advert on the side, it looks brand new!

I didn't notice the AG bit initially, and couldn't imagine why a  WB 451 would be in Birmingham!

I still maintain it was dumb to create loads of routes with the same number. 
Don't you start.
