Euro Bus Expo 24

Surely not suggesting that NXWM aren't going for top spec vehicles? Reality is that we all know the answer to that in the current circumstances. Given that savings are being achieved on livery costs highly unlikely that top spec vehicles are on the agenda!

And no doubt you would soon complain about the lack of seats

To be honest, I'm extremely surprised the 'leather' trim has survived so long. I'd have thought all moquette would have taken over by now.

As far as I know I think a lot of new buses nationwide seem to have full leather seats these days as standard Stagecoach, Arriva etc. I was on Diamond 32329 last week and that's had a "leather" retrim and repaint into brighter diamond livery before it was put into service.

NX have the part leather and moquette.

That "tram bus" looks completely impractical to me as well, I hope TfWM don't consider a bendy version for Sprint.

32329 was acquired with leather seats, this was done at Transdev.
