I think Stagecoach may be the winner for best new seating. It's been confirmed they've switched to e-leather, and while I have seen the distinctive stagecoach-style seat clad in e-leather, it appears they've also switched to full height seating too.

While they may look a bit garish, I suspect they win on the comfort front vs GNE and Arriva. I look forward to this spec arriving in the North East.

Also note the reversed seating at the rear on the upper deck, cue gansta schoolchildren. Just when you though it was safe to go back upstairs...
