Update on the Whitby fleet:

2827 remains in service in allover white at present
7486 has only been internally refurbished to feature Estaban Civic V3s, however sister 7485 hasn't been treated. 7487 is set to be done to take 7485's place as one of Redcar's 2 X93 buses with 7485 as the spare.

7487 arrived at Redcar today - guess it'll be out on X93s soon?

Trimmed with e-leather?

I don't know why they couldn't have just put on the front and sides "X93 - Along the glorious Yorkshire Coast" taglines on.

What are these fake MAXes going to be used on after the holiday season?

Nope, appears to be the 2009-spec 'Two-tone Blue Square' fabric.

I'm pretty sure the B7's already had the fabric Kuyoyo is referring to, so have they just added headrests?

Yeah, that's the difference between Civic V2 and Civic V3. Not sure what type of seating is on the Volvo B9s, but it's not particularly comfortable as they didn't completely refurbish them with new seats as they should have done (ideally).

Aye, was just wondering if they'd completely replaced them, or just re-trimmed, or just added headrests as surely there will be a mismatch in wear if they didn't re-trim the seats?

Not sure what the seats are called in the Volvo B9TLs but here is a shot of them.

I'm not sure on them and I rode one last week and thought there wasn't much leg room.
