I dont remember the DP Tigers being mega comfortable? One had the DP seats ripped out and what looked like really really old coach seats ( the sort you might find in a plaxton supreme) fitted, re trimmed in the same material as the S-YOG Darts have ....

They were when they were first converted, but the seats weren't refurbished to a very high standard unfortunately and started sagging and fading due to the lack of tinted windows in the first batch, they did indeed take some out and replace them with Supreme seats from 1486 and 1487 and a few others...but I always found them extremely comfortable, one of the few buses I could actually nod off on!

The N/VPH darts had a disgusting interior all brown with brown dotty seats but 2391's interior isn't much better.. Yellow and brown? Stevie Wonder must of picked the interior for that bus lol

The B6's that came from Merseyside had the most vile interior I have ever seen, a right throwback to the 70's and not in a good way...the L/TKA ones, dreadful, dreadful buses....closely followed by the K/OHF B10's...anything that arrived from Merseyside generally looked and performed like this.

I didn't mind the K/OHF volvos to be honest and I think 2109 was 1 of the only ones resprayed and refurbed and got scrapped a month or 2 later.... Pointless refurbishing really if it was going to be scrapped

Bob

Correct me if im wrong but im sure the K-OHF volvos had their weird white plastic seats ripped out & replaced with Leyland National seats!!!!!!

I think the ones that entered service did and the fleet numbers used to confuse me, I think they were summert like this:

K101OHF became 3315 converted to a trainer and became 9522
K102OHF became a trainer and numbered 9502
K103OHF became 3314 converted to a trainer and became 9520
K104OHF became 3317
K105OHF became 3316 converted to a trainer and became 9521
K106OHF became 3318
K107OHF became 9517
K108OHF became 9516

Not sure if that's correct but there all still trainers apart from K104/6OHF

2110 L238TKA  was the 1 involved in an accident then not so long after 2118 L601EKM had an accident in Walsall and got wrote off but 2109 L243TKA got refurbed aswell
