Find me a WN MMC with etched windows, bet you'll struggle. They've all been replaced

The price branded ones do but the 934 brandeds are in good shape

None of them are, I'm not sure which ones you've been on! They've all got worn out/rock hard rear seats, tatty leather seats that have been cut and window etching and seat backs.

Genuinely wouldn't surprise me if these are just more exaggerations like the 'slashed' seats that you claimed to have seen.

Take some images then next time you see slashed seats

Then I suggest you ride the whole batch instead of the odd couple once in a blue moon.

Worn out rear seats isn't an exaggeration they are worn out after almost 10 years use!

The rearward facing seats are very worn out due to people putting feet on them, but 'slashed' seats get replaced. The trim shop send a van once a week to every garage to collect any damaged seats for repair.

Mate 😂 I'm not spending my days riding 30/40 different vehicles just to see which ones have damaged seats

Then maybe you should think about whether your judgement is relevant when you've only been on a few whereas I have to catch them near enough every day. Not sure why you decided to reply when it ended either after Tony's message!

Will the fake leather portion of the seats be replaced by moquette,  that fake leather on the 19 plate platinum's very strange in wear&tear on the top deck some look perfect while others are cracked up.

Ah okay thank you just wanted to ask as wasn't clear with amount of different comments about it, thanks for clarifying it.

Did 6717 have a RTC or something to be refurbished before buses that are still in Coventry blue and the red and white livery.

@Tony  appreciate there's a lot happening operationally with refurbs, repaints and vehicle transfers for the main fleet - is the heritage fleet of ex Walsall Corporation and the Jumbo et al, still going ahead as a viable hire and revenue stream?
