You wouldn't know what the e-leather is like on Go North East's buses as you avoid them at all costs - quite comfortable now that it's been worn in (and that's coming from someone who doesn't like e-leather!) 

I personally think that if you get one of the seats with more leg room, the Streetlites are more comfortable than the Volvo B10s. Had several journeys on 'em recently and was pleasantly surprised each time!
