I could go on about every bus there and what was wrong with them, but I was talking about the Arriva buses there (mainly the choice - it's already been explained if you want to look back through the thread...)! I didn't go on 4107 - didn't think that we were able to go on them - so me calling 4469 scruffy was nothing to do with the condition of 4107's interior upstairs! 4469 was "scruffy" for a bus of not even one year old - opinion of myself and a few other people/friends there that I seen. We all have opinions and (seem to) see things differently. End of story - get on with life.

You seem to have misread my reply. No one said you did mention 4107 - my point is simply the fact that virtually every bus there had something you could suggest made it look untidy, so it seems slightly unfair to single out 4469 which certainly wasn't the shabbiest one on show.

Nearly every bus there was considerably older - probably why! For its age and for its apparent purpose, I was not impressed with how it was presented. 3065 looked tidy - so did 4107. Apart from 4469 looking "scruffy", I wasn't bothered about the presentation of the buses - just about the choice, as a local person (who assumed that the show was about history and preservation, not Arriva showing-off their "best" buses).
