I took the 27 from South Shields to Gateshead, and during that journey I had to change seats three times because it felt like I was sitting on a piece of metal.
I don't know what they did when they were refurbishing them, but I'm fairly sure there is less padding in the seats than when they left.
Definitely less padding on seats following refurb as you can feel the base metal of seat when sat down now whereas previously there was a lot of padding with comfort on par with Geminis in the fleet in my opinion.
