| By April 2000 the London Buses service vehicle fleet was divided between older vehicles still in 'London Transport Buses' white livery, and newer ones in the red with orange squares scheme. Among the former were two batches of long-wheelbase Ford Transit vans, these being a common sight at bus stations around London. Some of them were what we now call crew vans, with additional side windows on one or both sides. Most were plain vans, like 4726F seen leaving Stratford Bus Station on 8th August 1997. As with most of the Transits, additional 'Operating Services' lettering was applied (in red) on the doors. 4726F was to last until late 2000, when it was replaced by a Vauxhall Movano. In the background can be seen an East Lancs bus of Harris Bus in their rather outlandish blue and green livery. Also visible is the back of what seems to be an orange minibus, though I'm not sure who that would have belonged to. Construction work on the new station building (for the Jubilee line extension) looms in the distance. |
