The shape of the seat makes them far superior. I'm not a huge fan of e-leather seating, but the seats on Stagecoach Gold ADL Enviro400s are really quite comfortable. Off memory (was a long time since I last sampled the X4 at Peterborough), the provision of power sockets is not offered, but the Wi-Fi service was very good and seemed quite fast indeed.
The brand is consistent - no matter which depot the service operates out of. Much better than the offering around our parts...
