| Real SV-neds will recognise this location as being the yard adjoining Griffith House, views into which were afforded by gaps in the fencing and advertising hoardings along Chapel Street. James did pretty well to capture this view of Ford Transit Mk5 dropside truck 4534F on an unrecorded date. The truck still looks fairly pristine, so the date was probably not long after its delivery in September 1995. The subsidiary lettering shows that the vehicle was allocated to the 'Lifts, escalators & pumps' section, and it has a crew-cab and tail-lift. Note that the crew-cab does not have side windows, though this had been added as an option by then. In fact, sister vehicle 4533F did have side windows, and was photographed at the same location also by James. Although the Ford Transit van had been used by LT since 1966, the first truck versions did not arrive until 1986. 37 were in stock in April 2000, all being Mk5s. One curious aspect of the Griffith House yard was that it adjoined the Edgware Station yard but was not connected to it. One of the garages of the latter location can be seen above 4534F's offside mirror. |
