Re-registration of service vehicles is thankfully rare, although Stagecoach and some other operators sometimes put former Routemaster marks onto cars. One recent exception was Metroline Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van WV51PZE, which gained the fairly random Northern Ireland mark of RCZ7361 in early 2009. Lettered as a 'London Bus Support Unit', the van had earlier been a regular sight in central London. Now reassigned to more suburban duties, it has only been seen a handful of times since reregistration. On the 6th April 2010 Ray found it parked outside the CELF works at Perivale. The bus behind is a Metroline (originally Armchair) Dennis Dart, repainted white for disposal. Just visible on the blind is the rarely seen destination of Harrodian School, Mortlake, this being served by route 609. |
