It is however impressive that they managed to reupholster the bus, yet miss all the GNW branding. The cove panelling is still carrying info about Go North West performance and fares, which I imagine is of little use to most people in Sunderland.
First's Streetlites are 41 seaters - in comparison, Arriva's are 44 seaters and GNE's are 45. So they have a row less than the GNE ones.
