You're right, I forgot that one!I do genuinely get that point on an enthusiast level, but at the same time when people are paying a decent amount of money they do expect at the very least some fabric to sit on. I personally would rather see a fresh batch of the older moquette (the same treatment 4546 has apparently had) than faded and threadbare patches of it, especially when it looks like these buses will be around for at least another 2-3 years yet! In fact I'd say that was a perfect compromise.

I prefer old interior newly refurbished like 4308 4332 4357 at Walsall a nice step back in time not like everything in this dull deppressing grey. Crimson is OK but prefer original TWM moquette Refurbised.

I'm losing track of these YW and WN swaps. How many are due to be exchanged, and will the WN ones be a continuous block of fleet numbers? From what I've gathered, so far various ones between 4551 and 4592 have moved.

Presumably all of YWs 43xx will be leaving. The only route that can be operate with them at YW is the 18. Whether they keep 8-10 of them for that route, I don't know.

28 45**'s for 28 43**'s.  4535 has been stated elsewhere as staying at WN, as have the 59 branded Tridents (4557-4564).

4382-4390 and 4392-4394 will be staying at Yardley Wood as they have had the exhaust/AdBlue modification to allow them to operate into Birmingham City Centre (and shortly Solihull too)

4550, 4551, 4585, 4588-4592 have transferred PL-YW so far.
