Didn't know if it had already been discussed but who re-upholstered the seats on 1768? It looked like such a shoddy job

Do you mean 1766, as I can't recall any others being retrimmed?

4523 is back at Jesmond.

I don't think so. I was in Beddlington. Some of the seats at the back for high back civic style bit the head rest looked like a deflated balloon but the seats at the front didn't have headrests

I'm pretty sure that it'll be the same material as it was when new, as I can't remember any of that batch going for refurb at any point.

It will be the belts making the squealing noise, quite common within the Mercedes engined solos

I'm guessing you mean Ashington? I believe Jesmond do an extra short X20 during the evening peak.
