Default Passenger door buttons gone on refurb D Stock

More money wasted. Still, I think they should have left them on the D
stock even if not working since they look a lot better than the
painted over metal plate they've been replaced with on the outside
which rather jars with the upmarket look of the rest of the refurb
(though they don't seem to have bothered repainting the drivers doors
inside the cars which look just as much of a scratched mess as
before). All in all a bit of a half hearted effort IMO.
