The Urban90's seats in these (or Turban90 which most of them say on the back) are so horrifically worn down the seats would probably be more comfortable without the fabric and the backrest on the backseats are just wood and the fabric is about as much use as tracing paper.
Amen to that!
I can't understand why Arriva didn't send them for a refurbishment when they sent the B10BLE'S to be honest, they're around the same age, and the Urban90's were horrific for years, at least the B10's have always had decent seating!
I remember being on one of the Y-reg Lowlanders on an X21 while it was still at Ashington (covering for a Sapphire), and we were going around the roundabout at Bedlington, when there was a massive cracking noise, it honestly sounded like the top deck was just going to slide off...
