44588 is currently having bodywork repairs presumably in preparation for a repaint

Does anyone know if all of the repaints so far, have also had re-upholstered seats ?

checking 4 out of the 12 44608, 44570, 44589 and 44639 have all got re-upholstered seats . Like what National Express West Midlands call a refurbishment when they repaint buses it is just the upholstery and not a full internal refurb like Thorntons did on the Salt Road vehicles. 44608, 44570 and 44589 retain their Barbie interiors and 44639 it standard dealer stock inside - It has yellow hand rails and the Barbie ones still have the pink ones
