Note this picture below, you'd have to remove 1-2 of those seats behind the cab in the first place to even think about putting in more seating - and that's without taking into account that the floor of the upstairs is raised above the cab/accessible seating area, so any space behind that (i.e where the luggage space is) is nowhere near big enough to consider seating (2nd link).

(27 Aug 2020, 2:14 pm)streetdeckfan wrote They could do what Oxford did and acquire some branded for the X9/X10, although I'd imagine it'd cost them a penny or two and it'd only work if they managed to score 7 'matching' plates

Do look rather smart IMO, I actually like it over the gold one, I think there's just too much gold, whereas this is nice and simple

I wonder how much the temporary vinyl cost them, I'm sure it's a lot bigger than it looks

(05 Sep 2020, 8:10 pm)ne14ne1 wrote People seem to love whinging about change before they give things a chance, whether it’s the switch to coaches, or a change to road layouts for example. Most of the time I reckon they do it for the likes or attention or to try & be funny or they just have nothing better to do. It must be so tiring being negative & miserable about everything. Leave em to it.
