I thought that cars refurbished prior to the CityCecker program (i.e. trial
cars) would be redone by Goninan very soon - perhaps hopper windows will be
retrofitted as part of this.

This is a sector 2 thing - I think car C3055 has a few fixed panes in

see older sliding windows in place of damaged hoppers (a number of C sets
ran around like this recently).
