I have just read the following article in which a wool-rich moquette and leather headrests are mentioned. Hooray for common sense.
Leather headrests are easier to wipe clean and a wool-rich moquette should deliver comfort and durability.
East Midlands Railways unveils newly designed seats for state-of-the-art Aurora fleet (prgloo.com)
The cloth trimmed armrests and headrests on the Meridians must be a nightmare to keep clean. And the armrests well worn by continual use. The padding in the seats is definitely past it's best, you can feel the seat structure bar beneath. I guess it will be for the next operator to perform a full refurbishment on these units. EMR certainly won't be spending any money on them now.
