They don't think that's an issue for the X21 which will have 3 different designs, they'll have the old blue leather, the red/blue leather and the leather/moquette!
I get it was signed off a while ago, but if there was enough time to design a new interior, then order and receive brand new buses with that interior, then there was time to change it (unless of course they were just EY's buses)
Once again it just seems like poor planning on GNE's part
