A photo found on Flickr shows another Ford Transit with Southern Transit carrying registration number V300KGW. The main subject however is a Land Rover Defender registered D162FYM, a plate originally carried by London Transport Leyland Olympian L162.

It looks like this might have been a lucky catch, as a few days later the vehicles had moved again. I took a closer look today (during a bike ride for exercise) and there was just one SV in the main car park (minibus 8651VW). A further 7 SVs were back in the small 'side' yard (adjoining White Hart Avenue), but the security fence made it hard to identify most of them. | 20/05/2020 | Thomas Young |

That's a Vauxhall wheeltrim on the front, probably pinched from an Astra | 10/05/2020 | Adam Floyd |

No updates on the date of this photo yet, but James mentioned something which I thought was quite interesting. He used to see this ambulance fairly regularly at Edgware Station forecourt, picking up or dropping off staff. It presumably accrued a bit more mileage than its Chiswick counterpart. | 08/05/2020 | Thomas Young |
| 111 |  |
James has confirmed the date and location details are as suggested. He also drew my attention to the fact that there was a dog in the driver's seat, visible in this photo! How did I not notice that? | 08/05/2020 | Thomas Young |
| 112 |  |
Yes, Ray is right, the building in the background is the bus garage built in the 1980s on the site of the earlier one. However, at the time of this photograph it had been closed for almost ten years (being used instead for go-cart racing), only the entrance roadway being in use for terminating buses to turn and park on. As such, it didn't seem right to say that this photo was taken at Streatham Bus Garage, although I now notice that this very description was still in use for bus destination blinds... | 08/05/2020 | Thomas Young |
| 113 | |
This was taken at the 'new' garage. | 30/04/2020 | Ray |

I didn't notice at the time but this is an example of the '2019 Facelift' Transit Connect. The front end is rather different, with a larger, trapezoid grille. This grille shape is also featured on various other Ford models, including the Transit Mk8 (2020 facelift) and Transit Custom (2018 facelift). | 09/01/2020 | Thomas Young |
| 123 |  |
Seasons Grittings! This trailer has appeared on LTSV before, caught by Ray back in 2015. | 21/12/2019 | Thomas Young |
| 124 |  |
This was marked as CBT57 on 21/11/2019 and is therefore still in stock. | 21/11/2019 | Ray |
| 125 |  |
Derek pointed out that the fleetnumber is also carried in the 'traditional' position, just ahead of each side door, above the green stripe. However, it is in grey digits and quite hard to see. | 12/09/2019 | Thomas Young |
| 126 |  |
The only other (known) vehicle carrying 'Technology & Data' markings is 8159F based at Mandela Way | 11/09/2019 | Ray |

This vehicle is operated and owned by a contractor working on behalf of Abellio. Unlike Sovereign, who work for a number of companies, it is carrying Abellio logos. It seems to attend rail replacement work in West London. | 07/09/2019 | Ray |

This garage was used to replace Mandela Way (MW) in some respects, routes/buses being exchanged with Q & NX also. Buses from Belvedere followed at the end of the year. | 15/08/2019 | Ray |
| 131 |  |
The 'second' car is Toyota Yaris LO16YVB which is to become 9005T. 9006T was actually seen on Silwood Triangle rather than the Depot/yard. | 15/08/2019 | Ray |

I've just noticed that the white van in the background is Peugeot Boxer WF18PCO. This is believed to be a hire but, since it was added to the database, I have added a link to this photo. | 09/05/2019 | Thomas Young |
| 137 |  |
The identities of the two other vans are now known and have been added. | 03/05/2019 | Thomas Young |

Brilliant photograph and I think that was me in attendance as I worked for L & C at that time on running shift attending breakdowns etc. As I am working on a book to mark my 40th year in the bus business I would like to use this picture. I know John Godwin who is noted as the copyright owner but cannot locate John to ask permission. Can anyone help me please ?? simonstanford1011@gmail.com Thank you | 28/04/2019 | Simon Stanford |

There is a road connection between the two yards. The imagery on Google Maps is out of date, showing the new yard not yet in use. Indeed the main garage seems to have been photographed both before and after it became a bus garage as there is a curious stitching together of buses and cars parked on top of each other! However, the imagery on Google Earth is more recent and shows the new yard in use, with exactly 100 buses parked in it, along with 5 or 6 of the crew ferry minibuses. A further 48 buses and 4 or 5 SVs are visible in the main garage. | 05/04/2019 | Thomas Young |

The recovery did take place. The tractor unit towed the coach out using chains across to Elizabeth Bridge. The coach was left there whilst the tractor returned, collected the trailer and returned to Elizabeth Bridge where the coach was loaded and then transported back to South Wales. | 13/03/2019 | Malcolm Conway |

LT also seemed confused in how to treat the RLs, with the first few being given record cards, just like motor vehicles, before they were all redesignated as 'plant' and allocated asset numbers. Those bought for the buses were mostly painted red and became 80/****, whilst those bought for the trams and trolleybuses were 200/***, 210/***, and 220/****, and were painted green and not given RL numbers. This system required potentially confusing identity changes for some transfers so by 1946 they had all been given RL numbers, and it appears the asset numbers may have been discontinued soon afterwards. Evidence shows overhauls taking place alongside other service vehicles at Chiswick and Aldenham, though by 1969 they were all concentrated on the Chiswick Plant workshops, where some identities were again changed, possibly whilst swapping parts as some were withdrawn. RL82 was new to Twickenham in 1951, spotted by LTSV fans at Bexleyheath garage in the mid 1960s and at Chiswick Plant workshops in 1969. Next sighting was at Staines garage in 1974, with the last being there in September 1978. | 22/12/2018 | Clive G |
| 145 |  |
I think you'll find that all these Austin K4s except for the last one were delicensed in a similar way at times during 1950/1/2/3 after being sent to Aldenham Works or various bus garages. I suspect there was a modification required by LT, and maybe this is why no more were bought. What intrigues me with this photo is that it shows the bottom half of the radiator covered, and I've not seen that before in any other pictures of this type. | 22/12/2018 | Clive G |

I don't think Jaq wore glasses but I bow to your superior knowledge on this subject Tom LOL | 05/11/2018 | KeithD |

Of course, the tail is too 'un-bushy' for a fox. Not Simon though. Based on the orange coat I reckon this is Jaq from Cinderella. | 30/10/2018 | Thomas Young |

Definitely not Basil Brush but could be Simon from the Chipmunks?? | 27/10/2018 | KeithD |

I was surprised that some of what were at one time called ''New Dimension'' units (mass decontamination bodies etc introduced post 9/11) are shown. | 21/11/2017 | Kim Rennie |
| 164 | |
I stumbled across a photo of BL14 on the LFB website and it appears that it was not used to recovery fire applicanes but to attend incidents where heavy lifting capability was required. It also had 'LTE heavy lifting jack' (sic), so the board above the windscreen may indeed be authentic. Here's a linky dink: http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/150/dennis-f127-breakdown-lorry.asp | 19/11/2017 | Thomas Young |
| 165 | |
Thanks for the pointer to that fleetlist. Perhaps I was wrong, but an expert in the field did show me evidence (admittedly about a year ago) of photos of a particular type of support vehicle being published on the internet and then disappearing. Photos of that type are now available again. I am slightly disappointed that they have introduced a discontinuity in their fleetnumbering. The most common type of fire engine is a pump/ladder, which the LFB classed as DPL. Fleetnumbers reached as high as DPL1308 in 2007. There was then a gap of almost 10 years before deliveries resumed. However, as this was in the 150th year of the service, they numbered the first DPL150, and later deliveries have followed on from this. Still, at least nobody has complained about my spelling of 'publicly'! |

My original transparency for this photo bears a processing date of Aug 75 and was most likely taken no later than July as other shots followed. At the time I was a motorman at Hainault and remember the occasion well. The emergency garage was closed sometime following the Moorgate disaster of 28 Feb 1975 when the Hainault gang failed to attend due to staff not being available. Local gossip was that coverage for the gang was from the depot shop staff rota and that some individuals regularly took a chance to go AWOL. By the time I'd got my new camera I found the garage full of chairs just delivered by this lorry and no sign of any breakdown tenders. | 19/11/2017 | Clive G |

You have been unnecessarily pessimistic regarding the latter! A search of ''London Fire Brigade Fleet'' on the WhatDoTheyKnow F.O.I. website brings up a current LFB fleetlist, including allocations etc, correct to Sept 2017 and the LFCDA say this information is updated annually. | 15/11/2017 | Kim Rennie |

As there have been no further reports of this car it is assumed it was not a Go-Ahead London vehice. | 19/10/2017 | Thomas Young |

The Jetta is the Golf saloon so these estates are indeed Golfs. Interesting that VW have reverted to the original Jetta name as the previous generation was sold in the UK as the Bora and the one before that as the Vento. | 22/09/2017 | Adam Floyd |

Following internal restructuring, the 'Bus Infrastructure' department is now part of TfL Asset Management rather than London Buses and deal with more than just bus infrastructure. That, coupled with the lightbar and the fact the vehicle appears to be parked in a bus stop (thick yellow line) leads me to believe that this is probably a new livery for the department - and this van will probably be based at Orpington. The van is also consistent with previously used vehicle types for this department. | 11/02/2017 | slr |

No internal shots yet. Ref the equipment carried I can add a few things: Bullhorn, Dolly stop and base, sacks of grit (for oil spills) and a shovel. | 15/01/2017 | Thomas Young |
| 188 |  |
Ref the two Ford Transits and one Sherpa van, they are quite likely to be BR vans, although no lettering is apparent. Were BT vans still yellow in 1987? | 15/01/2017 | Thomas Young |

Its not just a roundel, its the old Underground arrow sign seemingly wrapped over the roof. Its used on the new concrete mixer wagon too. A ''livery'' that seems to epitomise style over substance in a graffiti like way IMHO. | 01/04/2016 | Clive G |
