| A couple of things about this picture are (slightly) interesting. Ford Escort van 3825F had been new in February 1990 and was seen at Acton Works on 30th August that year. The fleetnumber is notable for not having the suffix, quite unusual then but much more common in later years. Strangely, this van had a full fleetnumber, slightly lower down, when new. Perhaps it had received accident damage repairs. The boxed lettering shows the attempts to seek additional work and reads 'Distribution Services', 'Transport Contractors' with a phone number. Finally, the minibuses lined up in the background appear to be former dial-a-ride Renaults. These may have been stored here pending disposal, although it is believed there was no official connection between London Transport and London Dial-a-Ride at the time. |
