(04 Jan 2016, 9:21 pm)Adrian I know some operators market the eLeather as a premium feature, but really it's a benefit to the operator. To clean an eLeather seat, you only need to wipe it down. To clean a cloth seat, you'd need to foam it. That'll take you up to about 5 minutes per seat, so you can imagine how long an entire bus would take.
I don't actually mind the eLeather, but I do think it takes a good 6 month or so to wear in. It's quite tough to sit on at first. If I could take my pick of a standard seating, it'd be the ones that Stagecoach have in their Enviros.

(04 Jan 2016, 9:25 pm)Dan Comfortable, but the leg room is hideous!
(04 Jan 2016, 9:25 pm)LeeCalder That's exactly why I don't like it, rock solid. A nightmare when your going on a long journey as well.
I'd happily get the 82/82A all day if/when a Merit is allocated because them seats are top notch!

744, 77W, 772, E145, E190, E170, E175, E195, A319, A320, A320NEO, A321, A321NEO, A330-200, A330-300, A340-600 763, 752, 733, 737, 738, CRJ900, CRJ1000

(04 Jan 2016, 9:44 pm)Dan That's the intention! All takes time, though.
I will probably go as far back as Darts and Volvo Olympians (and anything acquired new/second hand after that point).
Will struggle to do anything for Stagecoach prior to 2010 due to a lack of information online. Arriva is easy enough, thanks to past contributions when making the fleet archives the first time around.
