Spectra 4002 has old blue moquett from 1999 used on B6/B10L/Merc when new

So has 4002 never had a seat refurb in all its years then? Just shows how the darker blue and orange spot moquette has lasted much better than the twin peaks which looks awful on most of the un-refurbed Tridents

Probably not, just had odd seat cushions replaced on an as & when basis. The older dark blue moquette with red flecks does seem to wear much better, it took much longer to fade & masks any dirt.

I'm sure 4002 was new to Travel Dundee then joined the Twm fleet in 1999 when service 50 was fully optare spectra.

Very correct indeed with 4001 and 4002 numbered 1 and 2 respectivley then the fleet numbers changed to 4001/2

a 41xx getting a second refurb is 4179. It was done complete with new engine 18 months ago, but the paintwork was wrecked by an ipod advert and it was vinyled over. It has gone to Walsall for a fresh repaint and getting seats retrimmed again at the same time.

Another 41xx being done more deservedly is another ex Ipod advert 4197

What a complete waste. Why do the seats need redoing when there are buses around at West Brom that have never seen this sort of attention!!! Fair enough paintwork but seats as well

I'm dislike double decker! I love a bendy buses!

Don't ask to me about Double Decker and only talk me for Single Decker and Bendy buses.

6004 T604 MOA .... 6005 T605 MOA ... 6008 T608 MOA .... 6013 BJ03 ESN ....

6013

And I remember 6005 been new refurbishes seats in October 2011 then till December to withdrawn and won't take new seats from 6005 put on 6012 can't do it because it's won't fitted up. 6005 is different shape seat modern and 6012 is more different than 6005 modern.

Not asking nastily, but do you suffer from dyslexia?  It would make responding to your posts a little bit easier if I knew you have a problem writing stuff down.
Don't you start.

That's just Jade/Daniel, or whatever he or she callers themselves these days. You get used to it after a while!
6013 - please don't email travelcare about why they haven't retrimmed the bendibus seats. It will be wasting your time and theirs.

Who? Never heard of them and echoing Gareth's comment have absolutely nothing to do with National Express Coventry whoever they are/ if they exist

And of course they couldn't take the seats out of the o405 bendis and put them into the o530's as they are completely different buses!
