The fact that they're comparable to something Arriva got done in 2014 is pretty poor and just lazy designing imo and that's a dig at Best Impressions there just to make that clear.

I admit it's not 'as bad' lately but Go North East comes across as very disorganised in the marketing department and it's all comes across as bull in a china shop with no long term planning (or it has done in the past). How many different interiors we on now?

- GNE Blue
- GNE Blue with red eLeather headrests
- GNE Blue with grey eLeather
- GNE Blue with blue eLeather
- Cobalt and Coast
- X-Lines Solos
- X-Lines old Streetdecks
- X-Lines even older Streetdecks
- X-Lines old Enviros
- X-Lines new Streetdecks
- X-Lines new Enviros
- Green Arrows
- Ex Thames Travel
- Ex Bluestar
- The Red Solos
- Ex Brighton and Hove
- Ex London B9TL's

Crazy amount. Hopefully things are starting to turn with them being based on the new fleet livery and tbf the marketing has been a bit more consistant for the past year or so but they need to badly stick to one interior - the fact there's 6 different ones for X-Lines is a bit of a mess imo especially for a premium product. No doubt it'll be 7 once the coaches are on the road.

That was my main issue when the plan was to have some of the new StreetDecks going on the X21. They're would have been three different interiors on one route!
Now, were stuck with the worst of the three with the B5s, the seats are more comfortable than the 16 plates with the extra cushioning, but the red/blue leather has nowt on the older dark blue ones.

I do like the moquette/red leather seats on the new StreetDecks, but the red leather on them feels horrible and thin, and just looks cheap.
I wonder how well it will stand up, it certainly doesn't feel like the same stuff they're using on the E400s.
