| One more Google picture for today. I was exploring the railway facilities at Eastleigh in Hampshire when I noticed this yard close to the station that was literally packed with Ford Transits. There were in fact almost 400 of them present, most being dropsides or bare chassis-cabs. Transits used to be built nearby (at Southampton) but since 2013 all Transits for the UK have been built in Turkey. They are most likely imported through Southampton Docks, and the vehicles seen here are presumably recent arrivals. The connection to LTSV is tenuous, although it is notable that quite a few of the vehicles (particularly in the center of the image) have white cabs with blue bodywork and could thus have ended up as LUL service vehicles. |
