3580 on 38 again.

Got to travel on this today and notice the internal layout is different to the 58/09 plated vehicles. The engine compartment is quite a bit smaller, resulting in four seats on the back row, rather than the usual three. Total seating capacity is therefore 41.

It's not been refurbished internally. The upholstery is showing its age, with many seats quite threadbare at the edges.

Having said that, it seemed to be a lot smoother & less rattly than most Arriva Scanias!

The seat layouts changed when Scania changed the OmniCity from the CN94 series to the CN230 series back in 2006.

There is also layout change between the new arriva 58's/09's -

09's Pushchair area has been removed, replaced by 4 normal seats, increasing seating capacity by 1. Seat spacing where old front 2 seats meet new rears is noticably different, and Priority signs in wrong place.

09's also have a padded square above wheelchair rest on separate bar? It has wires at rear, but seems to be doing nothing.
The 61 branded 58 has much more modern interior signage than usual 09's, which is much easier to read, and doesnt repeat itself.
