Bus Etching Problem

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. Well, Southern run more inner-suburban services than Thameslink, so I guess there are more chances for their services to be vandalised. Either that or the denizens of Streatham, Wimbledon and Sutton are less anti-social than those of... erm... Peckham, Dulwich and Crystal Palace? 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! Refreshment, eh? Is that a fancy term for cleaning? -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - transport projects in London |
