30170 on it's first day out on the 31/32, but with it's old Hallmark blinds still on the controller. I'm told it'll be fixed once it returns to the garage tonight.

I feel sorry for the passengers on the 40. 32308 & 32310. Ouch lol.

The headlight surrounds are black on this latest batch.

I've seen a picture of the interior in these, although not clear, it looked like the same colour seating as the 32221-32237 batch, but with yellow piping rather than red. Not sure what the logic is there...

The other observation, I see we have switched to Hanover again..!

32311-3 *may* have Arriva spec interior, Rotala's order starts at 32314 onwards

It's a bit of a pain, having to do the blind database three times!

Correct @Winston. I believe 32311-13 are from a cancelled Arriva order. Which is also why they have Hanover blinds.

Yes - that's correct.
