VNZ had a weird extra seat on the top deck which VNWs and VNs didn't have. I assume this meant they were slightly longer than normal. Yes the VNZs were 10.6m long whereas the VNWs were 10.1m.
Strangely Bus Lists on the Web says the VNWs were H41/21D while the VNZs were H41/24D. I'm not sure that's right. The longer buses must have had more seats upstairs.
Looking back at some of the old fleet books I have lying around, has some of VNWs as H38/21D as well as H41/21D.

I'm not too sure, I vaguely remember the VNZ interior. I was more of a VNW person. However, like you said, longer bus should mean more seats so maybe Bus lists was wrong. I remember seeing them out in Weston super Mare single doored with Badgerline a couple of years ago, but Streetdecks from elsewhere have replaced them. They looked smart in their green / yellow livery. Wandering off topic but First Essex (Basildon) need to repaing their ex Solent Streetlites. Seen in Pitsea looking rough 123 is struggling through Walthamstow due to Thames Water roadworks near Blackhorse Rd. Waltham Forest surrendered the place to cyclists so the roads are super narrow, slow and unpleasant

Noticed SLS27 has recently been reinstated into service on the 410’s having been stood down in April. There’s also a TMP which has been in use on the 410 for the past few days, perhaps it’s another 17 reg SLS that has been reinstated?

SLS29 & 30 were the only ones left in storage in Beddington on the 8th September and are still listed as SORN, so leaves SLS26 or 28 but SLS28 is SORN so probably SLS26.
