| A trio of LUL service vehicles seen in the car park of Acton Works on 12th May 2018 including one just coming into the fleet, one about to leave, and one that seems to live here. On the left is Renault Kangoo LX18ZSZ, fleetnumber not yet known. This is a ZE model with electric power, as shown by the position of the chrome strip in the front grille. Although not clear from this angle, this may be a crew van, with windows in the sliding doors. Many of the LUL Renault Kangoo Maxis are officially listed as crew vans, presumably because they have a second row of seats. However, none have so far featured additional side windows and all are therefore listed as plain vans on LTSV. The Kangoo Maxi is available as a proper crew van (as used by Go-Ahead London) and their use by LUL would seem likely, given the quantity of broadly similar VW Caddy Maxi crew vans now in use. By coincidence, the vehicle in the middle is a VW Caddy crew van, though not a Maxi. 7127VW was one of 18 (in two batches) used from Lillie Bridge from autumn 2011. Most went off-lease in 2015 or 2016 but three soldiered on into 2018, making them nearly seven years old. 7122VW and 7125VW went to BCA in May 2018 and 7127VW is likely to have followed by now. Finally, Toyota Yaris 8488T on the right was new in October 2017 but seems to be kept parked here (usually with newly delivered vehicles) most days. |
