(20 Jan 2017, 11:12 pm)Jamie M They're great buses. As always, I view the e-leather as a cop out, but that's just me. Some paint and new cloth, and it'll be good enough inside. Similarly with the floor lighting, it seems a bit gimmicky rather than actual quality. At the end of the day it's just some LED lighting so can't complain that much ?
5288 and 5289 are crackers. 5337/8/90/91 are all pathetically slow pulling out, so I hope they're given some mechanical TLC, too. Drivers love them to some extent, but the backside sticks out too much for city work/tight country lanes as the 16s do. They're basically coaches but low floor and not as tall - easily a similar length.

In my opinion it's bringing these mercs up to the standard of new buses coming into the fleet, will no doubt give the travelling public the impression that it's a new bus, so in a way it's a new bus for a fraction of actually buying a new bus!!
