That livery looks amazing; it really suits that body! I hope that Arriva haven't specified their standard Civic V0/Civic V3 seating because the seats that were on WX61 HSL (the demonstrator which went to Green Lane depot) were comfortable and made the already-smooth-ride even better.

I overheard people commenting on that EcoCity during my work experience at Liverpool Council and they were positive reviews - warm interior and a comfortable ride. They should improve the 1/2 - the services which normally have several "unfit-for-service" buses on them! LOL

The North West Bus Blog has just added a picture of 5000 at the Euro Bus Expo, from what I can see, it has leather seating, unsure of the type though.

Looks like DP Civics to me!
But yes, they are that E Leather stuff, im told will be a similar spec to the X1 Pulsars.

A photo of the interior has appeared on Flickr:

They are indeed a similar spec to the X1 Pulsars, and VERY dull and depressing as well.

The rearmost windows look a bit porthole-ish


RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - P450 SWX - 06/11/2012 22:09

generally looks ugly and cheap would look better in standard arriva livery rather than the metroshutle 300 livery (well similar livery


RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - P450 SWX - 06/11/2012 22:10

not keen on the full rear LEDs either

The interior does look a bit drab. I actually think fabric seats would have looked better and brightened it up a bit!
