In other news which I don't think has been mentioned, Volvo B10BLE Wright Renown 4923 (X923 WGR) has transferred from Riverside to Deptford Depot.
And Wear Tees Xpress Mercedes Citaro 5335 (BJ10 VUV) has gained a Rear Advertisement for Spectrum Business Park.
NSAs were not working on 5398 this morning, and 5305s Front Destination Screen is buggered, will attach photos for the above when I go on the Computer in an Hour.
The comments I heard were mainly from people around my age, so I hope it wasn't your mother! The leather seats and wood-effect flooring really did seem to get noticed by the younger people on-board, during my journey heading towards the Metrocentre on the X66.
The transfer of 4923 from Riverside to Deptford was noted by myself last month here and confirmed on Go North East's Fleet News a week later here.
The Next Stop Announcements are not yet functional on any of the new vehicles. Note that the website states they are "coming soon": http://www.simplygo.com/all-services/coast-and-country
Please do send me the photograph of 5305's destination screen having problems: dan@northeastbuses.co.uk
