The majority of the internal features follow on from direct trials. In this instance, 5245 was extensively refurbished last year which included additional LED lighting up the gangway, as shown below:

This feature comes at an additional cost, as you can well imagine, but provides greater lighting when the bus is dark at night. This should help reduce passengers falling over and potentially hurting themselves - the benefits outweigh the initial cost!
