| Among a large batch of numbered but unmarked vehicles leased in late 2008 were three Renault Master dropside trucks, a type not previously featured in the central fleet. Given their anonymous nature, reports were rare and hence the allocations are somewhat hard to determine. 6645 was seen at Hainault in 2010 but by mid-2011 had been transferred to Therapia Lane Tramlink depot. Although central fleet vehicles have been based here before (mainly LBSL infrastructure vehicles), this seems to be the first one to be used by Tramlink itself. Earlier Tramlink vehicles (like Ford Ranger EY57OXH) were acquired separately. As this photo taken at the depot on 26th September 2011 shows, the Renaults have crew-cabs and tail-lifts, and are thus rather similar to the more numerous Ford Transit trucks. 6645 has gained a large water tank in the back, connected to spraying equipment used to clear the tram tracks of leaves and litter. |
