| Here is a rather unusual vehicle to be seen with London Buses markings, and also another case of Ray's detective work solving a mystery. We received an official fleetlist earlier this year, and the number 6794F was shown as being on a Ford Transit chassis cab operated by London Buses. As we had earlier seen hired hydraulic hoists ('cherry pickers') at the LBSL Technical Services Group base in Chingford, I speculated that 6794F may be one of these. Ray paid a visit on 20th May 2010 and found 6794F parked in the yard. It also appears that he had seen it before without realising, as it seems to be the vehicle in the background of a photograph he took there a year earlier! The vehicle is presumably used for maintenance of streetlight-mounted iBus equipment. The only other cherry picker in the fleet (6296F) also has equipment by Versalift but is based on a Transit van and used by TfL. |
