The 63 got some new kit so I went to try them out. They are the second batch of buses to contain the 'higher spec' interior, with the first being the LF20's for the 323 (though the media don't talk about that route because it doesn't have as much importance to London and doesn't serve any big name areas)!
This so called 'higher spec' includes high-back seats, phone holders, wooden flooring and a sunroof. The priority seats are in a different moquette, which Sullivan Buses actually did before these buses. I don't think they have footrests. Although the spec is alright, I'd have a wireless charger built in to the phone holder (such as on the Oxford Tube coaches) and face-off seats (such as on Southern Transit's CM-class ADL Enviro400 City's) with tables and actual power plugs. Instead of having moquette seats, have leather seats for that real premium feel and a final addition I would have is free WiFi.
Other routes which are planned to have the 'higher spec' interior are the 111 and 295.
