| A lot of vehicles added to the leased fleet are obtained for specific roles, which accounts for the relative rarity of large batches. Upon expiry of the leases, generally after three years, vehicles are often replaced by similar ones. A good example of this is Ford Transit van 6728F. New in May 2009 this was unusual for carrying Tube Lines logos on a silver livery. It is often to be found parked outside Frank Pick House at Acton Town, in a position formerly occupied by similar 5916F. As mentioned before, we don't know why some vehicles are delivered in silver instead of white/blue but examples such as this suggest that it is a deliberate specification. Colin found 6728F leaving the West Brompton exit from Lillie Bridge depot on 1st June 2009. |
