Gosh. After seeing a t-shirt design someone is offering based off some old bus seat upholstery, I did a little searching to try and see how close that pattern is to some currently in use here. (It looks pretty similar from memory. But, bus seats.)
No luck with that so far, but I did find something else interesting. Evidently, London Transport Museum is offering a variety of furniture and home items in public transportation upholstery fabric! In case anyone desperately needs more of that in their life.
