I was under the impression this was common knowledge? - my mistake lol
Its had more than the seats and a lick of paint. When it went for refurbishment back in the first half of February, it got a near full body re-panelling plus all its windows were ripped out and new ones were put in. The interior also got a substantial amount of repairs (like seat backs and plastics) as well as deep clean throughout, plus the e-leather of course. When it returned on the 13th I was on it a few days later and could only think about the elderly complaining about them sliding off the e-leather!

19194/6 are also receiving the same treatment in due course.
