It's interesting to see buses being refurbished in advance of tender renewals with 37727 done for the W19 I assume! Refurbishments are usually running late. I know one bus has been done for the 346is complete and assume the others will now be done as the electrics are now in service on the 339.

Are those scuff marks on the back of the seats already?

That looks disgusting. What a crying shame. They replaces the beautiful gold for tacky cheap orange. They grey leather looks dull worn out and reminds me of a welfare 16 seat minibus from the 1990's.

The pure grey seats are more like First than modern Stagecoach vehicles. which have a blue "ring" near the edges of the seats.

603 (I.e. YY15NKD) has been repainted. Don’t think seating has been replaced? Probably an RTC repair as recently returned from VOR.

imo they could've styled the blue ring into the grey. otherwise it looks a bit bland and boring.

They do. Under The Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations 2000 they must contrast with the parts of the vehicle adjacent to the handhold.

The 23 reg E400-MMCs at Manchester Hyde Road have grey seats with just some blue seam, not the blue ring as evident above. So, I reckon the refurbs will have this more basic grey style of seats.

2574 refurbished, looking very red indeed! Looks like this is one of the existing MMC’s which are intended for the 363.
