Some vehicles are receiving e-leather moquette and repaint, where as others are receiving USB charging as well, and others are just receiving repaint and old 'chessboard' moquette only.

Aside from the cost, is there a particular reason for the difference in fleet standards?

I suppose it promotes the technology and the luxury doing bits and bobs. But I never know which way Arriva are going doing it this way round. Other big operators are doing everything all at once from my observations. Perhaps a refresh of the paintwork where Arriva are giving the bus a new livery.
