Unmarked service vehicles, particularly cars, are a bit of a nuisance. Unless you see them at particular locations, or clearly doing bus-related work, you would never notice them. Even then, there is no way of knowing if they are owned, leased, hired, loaned or perhaps belong to individual members of staff. Unfortunately there are a lot of them around at the moment. The situation with COVID-19 has increased requirements, as it is no longer appropriate for one car to carry several bus drivers. It also seems that further cars have replaced existing vehicles that have had to be withdrawn for whatever reason. Derek sent in this photo of Peugeot 308 car at Watford Junction on 19th August 2021, when it was no doubt undertaking crew ferries from Hemel Hempstead garage. A few days later I received a letter (in the post!) from another correspondent, which listed a dozen more cars with various Arriva operations. |
