For a bus which is effectively a classroom for 6/7 hours a day, it makes sense to tidy it up inside and make it clean and comfortable. New starters don't just sit in the drivers seat.
Stagecoach don't use every given opportunity to say they're massively loss making, and offered their staff a decent pay rise without the need for industrial action I believe? It's far from essential either way.
Realistically nobody is going to leave the training school because a seat they have to sit in for a few hours per day hasn't been retrimmed (as long as the seat is clean).
The money wasn't there to refurb the ex-EYMS or ex-London B9TLs (at least the ones I've been on), which are in daily service on busy routes.
