The "Go" covering looks nicer in my opinion, not just against compared to the seating in the new Streetlites, but to all e-leather.
That's the main reason, along with the customer conception of e-leather being a luxurious feature on-board buses.
It's amazing how much the e-leather has worn on ANE's Streetlites which entered service on the 23 in October 2014. I took a photo of the 'depth' of the e-leather trim on the 23 last week and compared it to the e-leather on the Go North East arrival today, and the latter was two to three times as thick.
