They look & feel cheap because that's what they are. Think the best of the winsford batch is 2611 which had the seat frames repainted blue & the interior retrimmed in the blue check moquette which in my opinion looks better than the leather.

It seems to me that winsford always get what's cascaded from other depots when they get new buses. Last new stuff they had was the mellor breadvans. But if they wind up with cadets from elsewhere it'll be no bad thing as they're quite well liked by drivers & passengers alike.

Also appears macc are having issues with their Gemini deckers yet again. This week only 4490 has been out, a pulsar & VLW 4211 from winsford have covered. 4211 for an oldun appears to pull well & is still in really good nicker for its age.
