| A surprising survivor seen at East Acton on 7th November 2016 was Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van RCZ7361 of Metroline, tending to bus VW1207. New in September 2001 with registration WV51PZE, it was a common sight in central London for a few years. In spring 2009 it was re-registered, since when it has only been reported a couple of times each year. It is evidently still in use though, and is thus one of the oldest 'normal' service vehicles in London. The application of dateless registrations from Northern Ireland shows no sign of abating since the first appeared on the mainland in the 1980s. Fortunately very few service vehicles have been so treated. I can't help thinking that this registration would be much more apt on Renault Kangoo van 7361R! |
