Wellsey18 - I wouldn't normally expect a demonstrator to have 'Go' moquettes (except for the Arriva Sapphire Demonstrator) , so, it might be a possibility that it might join (if ordered) more StreetDecks.
I wonder if the Arriva demonstrator will come up here to be trialled on Sapphire routes?
BIB: 9119 (SN64 CTU) is the original styled StreetDeck, while Arriva Midlands' 4600 (FJ64 ETZ) is the restyled version.
As far as I know, 4600 is a purchased member for the Midlands fleet as the 38 required more vehicles than were ordered in terms of E400s. Of course, it is also effectively a trial to see which should be the vehicle of choice at Euro6 - of course, as Arriva prefer Cummins engines, likely the E400 may edge it as StreetDecks are only being offered with Daimler engine (StreetLites are being offered with both Cummins and Daimler engines).
