The other thing that is wrong with the refurbs is that Thornton's have done a dreadful job at reprinting the interior. The seat behind the driver still has the original pastel lime colour around the light. Some moulded seats have hardly any cushion and then some have a reasonable amount. This is normally found at the front of the bus.
if you're an Ashington driver, you probably know who I am
I think the refurbishment of them is to a very good standard, paint is always going to slightly chip with use. The cushions are the same, they will get worn more based on the amount of people that sit there.
I think the Econospeed needs to be removed, after all the Enviro's are all used on "express" routes, that need a good amount of speed in some areas, fitting a system that limits acceleration on these vehicles is a terrible decision, maybe if they ran on time Arriva would see the growth expected...
