It's physically impossible for me to sit straight on a StreetDeck because of the lack of legroom, it's the main reason I always sit at the table. If I have to sit at a normal seat, I sit twisted with my back against the window

On the next one I'll sit somewhere directly behind another seat and edit the post, but from memory it's absolutely fine.I think GNE are upseating theirs, not sure what that consists of though

Surely keeping some levantes as spare would make sense. Especially now that the 65/66/17 reu levantes are all spare (at the minute don't know what will be spare when Nat Ex return to normal times. Only afew levantes are required at peaks for extras of arriva's 1/2/308 which only need a minority and won't be permanent so when they're gone all the B11/Levante 2s will be spare.

Are the drivers wearing a face mask?

Depford now only hsve the 1x & 2x for coaches I believe.Deptford also have 2 coaches on 4274 Belmont scholars contract. These run from Coxhoe/Bowburn - Belmont. One starts in Coxhoe then does a loop of Bowburn before heading off to Belmont. The 2nd starts in Bowburn but goes through the estate rather than looping around it before heading to Belmont.
