Bus Etching Problem
Dave Arquati wrote: Wasn't there an attempt on some London public transport operator to use stick-on transparent plastic to protect the window surfaces, which was cheap and relatively easy to replace (avoiding replacement of the whole window) if etched? Southern have done that with their refurbished 455s (obviously, combined with replacement of the ruined windows!) Some Thameslink 319s also seem to have it applied in random fashion - but for some reason Thameslink suffers less than the others from vandalism in general. SouthEastern claimed (in an exchange of emails some time ago, when I was congratulating them on repainting West Dulwich station every time it was attacked - so roughly once a week) that the vinyl approach didn't work, but I notice in their latest newsletter that the Networker "refreshment" is going to include fitting anti-scratch vinyls. Hurrah. Merry Christmas, everyone! |
