It's quite evident they haven't been replaced on particular examples and the smell from them is horrendous. Even the couple that were repainted weren't re-done internally. The only refreshed seat covers and cushions seem to be on very specific seats and tend to be toward the rest of the buses so presumably as a result of vandalism.

I used the vehicles whilst on the 89 daily from 2007-2014 and in 7 years their condition did not improve.

They definitely did improve, I lived on the route myself until very recently. Seat cushions were also definitely replaced as the bases were not the originals and had more surface tension compared to the originals (Admittedly there is atleast two that aren't towards the later series) but the rest of the batch were definitely refreshed.
