| It has been good to see photos from so many different contributors this month, with the slight easing of lockdown restrictions coinciding with some pleasant weather. A name from the early days of LTSV is Kim Rennie and he sent in this nice view of Tower Transit's VW Transporter van VU69FYO passing through Hackney Wick on 19th April 2021. I know that I have already published a photo of this van, but I thought I would leave this in as it shows how different cameras and lighting conditions can significantly alter the appearance of red vehicles. For example, in Neal's photo, the van appears darker than the bus following it. Yet in Kim's, the shade of red on the van looks quite bright. In a similar vein, I have recently been in dispute with Ray over whether some early Mk3 Transit vans were red or orange! More on that next time. Tower Transit is slightly unusual for operating over a large part of London from just two garages. Their entire fleet is based at either Lea Interchange in the east or Westbourne Park in the west. Having said that, they have seen some significant route tendering losses recently and are due to finish on routes 28, 69 and 328 this week. |
