Possibly, just seemed unusual to have all interior lights and destinations switched off.

2703 is still showing as sorn. Its out today on the 20 and the driver of the 1413 to St. Helens seemed to like his hard braking. https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/137286913@...799063332/
2714 has started to struggle pulling away from stops and junctions.

You can get Either Dots or Clear plastic covers fitted on the windows so you can't etch them anymore most london underground stock has clear plastic fitted

Have you got a picture of the dots? Just tried searching for them and got nothing. Be a bit hard to see the plastic

http://citybus.piwigo.com/picture?/11474 Not a great picture but basically it's loads of black dots on a window to discourage the etching it's only applied to the two rear windows on this Scania
