It's not a repaint but 8294 has a shiny metal box on top. What's that, then?

I did a bit off hurried googling (before remembering that I needed to check the Durham Road cameras!) but nothing popped up.

It's just come to me.....wasnt it a pod that filtered the air to remove pollutants? Sure it was to help reduce particulates in high emission areas

8294 has had air con repairs so most likely linked.

It wasn't that. This was a blocky, shiny metal pod, at the front, in between the arches. It looked quite jarring.

That's likely it, then.
