Noting there is no fleet number on the front, I’ve always wondered what happened to this one for it to get the non-matching windows on the offside.

Not sure why, but I would guess it was an early attempt by FirstBus to standardise things across the fleet. Probably done on one or two vehicles then they realised drivers couldn’t find their bus in the mornings and abandoned!
