I'm not 100% sure if Mellor meet NSSTA requirements or not, but again I would have thought the seating arrangements would have been checked at some point.

As I said previously, a bus (regardless of type or size) is better than no bus - particularly when the big boys don't see enough profit in it.
Just look at Hartlepool. I'd guess they would be over the moon to see one of these Mellor's rock up on an evening than the buses they have on an evening currently...

I haven't been on those Mellor's but they really remind of a modern version of the Vario's Arriva used to have which used to be erm interesting as an understatement. Surely they can't be 'that' bad.
