Are they being fitted with a new front end? It looks different, more red.

Yes, it's part of the refurbishment programme for the 92 stock, though
the car ends are not necessarily being replaced at the same time as the
other refurbishment work on the train.

Are the original car ends decaying or is it purely aesthetic? I presume the
former.

The original cab design let the rain in, with sticky tape having to be
used to cover the join between the cab and the rest of the body.
