It now appears that two of the twelve Renault Master vans added to the RATP fleet in mid-2020 are operating in plain red livery and lack light-bars. The one we already knew about (MF20RZE) was caught outside the Treaty Centre in Hounslow on 8th March 2021. It was passing a Metroline DEL bus on route 235, which has recently been re-awarded to RATP (London United), although the new contract does not start until January 2022! North Brentford Quarter seems a curious destination. The 'Quarter' suffix is normally used in conjunction with something more descriptive than a place name. Indeed a Google search for 'North Brentford Quarter' doesn't return much apart from information about route 235. It seems to be that the name is derived from 'Great West Quarter', a development of 900 new flats on the site of (and partially re-using) the old Beechams factory in North Brentford. |
