Like sitting on the floor with a blanket basically.
I find them comfier than the other seats.
Here's my best and worst seats:
Worst: Urban90 - these are the worst seats in the world, it would be better sitting on hard plastic.
9: Refurbished Sapphire and Max E400 leather seats. Very harsh on the back, arse, neck.
8: Refurbished Max Gemini 2 front seats. Basically just two bits of leather covering two seats.
7: Refurbished Sapphire and Max E400 moulded seats. Crap.
6: Arriva's S-reg Dart seats. Basically metal scaffolding with a worn cushion on the top.
5: Arriva Wright Renown - above the wheels. Crap.
4: Go North East's Mercedes Citaro seats
3: Wright StreetLite leather seats
2: Wright StreetLite leather drivers seat.
Best: Arriva's newly refurbished ALX400 seats.
