A new service vehicle, of a new type, at a new garage! Metrobus joined the Beddington Lane crowd in December 2005, with a base that resurrected the C code (for Croydon). Seen there on 18th April 2006 was 8017 (RO06TUU), a new Mercedes-Benz Vito crew van. Although the distinction between vans, crew vans and minibuses has been a bit muddled by recent events in the main SV fleet, this van clearly has windows on both sides ahead of a goods compartment. Although not confirmed, it also probably has an additional row of seats behind the driver. Similarly configured Ford Transits were already used by Metrobus for crew ferry duties. |
