About a quarter of the D-prefix service vehicles added to stock in 1986/1987 were Ford Transits, though they do not seem to have been photographed as much as other types. A fairly typical example was 3490F, caught passing through Hammersmith on 18th September 1989. Again the allocation information is a bit sketchy. Acquired for use by 'Supplies' (?), it was attributed to Lots Road Power Station at one point, then to the Electrical Engineer at Wood Lane. Curiously one fleetlist shows it as being at Wood Lane but used by the 'Change Manager'! It may not have been carried from new but, when photographed, the van had 'London Underground Ltd' cabside lettering. As seems to have been common at this time, 3490F was returned off lease after just 3 years. |
