Suspect a Pulsar will take its place looks like a pretty nasty one.

There's a video on the Liverpool Echo website, I don't think we'll be seeing 2808 again as the whole bus was ablaze.....
The fire brigade had left by the time I turned up (as I was in the area for unrelated matters), RNW turned up around 2pm and loaded the bus onto a low loader before leaving just after 3:20 PM.
2808 is now at St Helens. Strange as no bodyshop but plenty of storage space

Is it actually moquette or eLeather, which is the Arriva Merseyside standard seat covering?

Its Arriva's new moquette they introduced this year, but 3229 still retains its leather headrests
