Yeah, I don't think comfort matters too much between the two, but they do certainly look smarter. Especially if accent lights get added.

I've also been thinking about the awfulness of the Arriva farefinder zone map (Can't find the link, or rather don't want to) and I think this is a good opportunity for GNE to capitalise.
I think there should be an interactive route finder, where it shows all applicable fares to your journey/route, in addition to an interactive map highlighting the areas. The current GNE journey planner is pretty awful, I have to admit, often it shows a possible route from Arriva or Stagecoach, rather than being a custom-developed and fine tuned product. People still struggle with zones a fair amount (especially with people skipping between Cherry/Green/Purple due to the complications with where one zone starts and another finishes. I've been taking the bus for ages and still cannot remember where's where. Daysavers also seem to be fundamentally based on local knowledge with this in mind, and the fact that there's too many to possible list them off on the bus. So an easy-to-access interactive resource to locate possible fares/tickets for a custom-input journey on the website would be a success for GNE, and would set GNE miles forward in terms of simplicity of paying for a fare/locating fare information. The current farefinder option only includes singles/returns and therefore is very limited to a lot of passengers (in terms of what other passes can be used/where and bought etc.)
