| Ford Escort vans have formed a staple part of the service vehicle fleet since the late 1960s. The early 1980s model was quite angular and featured a very narrow side window behind the doors. 3004F (KOR238Y), delivered in 1982 is a typical example except for the fact that it carries large gold roundels. This may have been associated with its allocation to Battersea garage, where it was photographed on 29th March 1986. This garage, closed in November 1985, was reopened the following year as the base for the Commercial Operations Unit, including a fleet of Routemaster buses used on sightseeing tours. |
