One last D-prefix photo today. Here we have Ford Escort van 3517F, photographed on the Isle of Dogs on 19th November 1988. This was another petrol-engined vehicle, most SVs using diesel. It was registered in Lincolnshire and leased from Avis in spring 1987 for use by Group 3 (the 'general purpose' section of the fleet). When photographed it had gained the boxed Distribution Services lettering that was used for a couple of years in the late 1980s. The regeneration of the Docklands area was well underway by this time, with the first sections of the Docklands Light Railway opening in 1987. The elevated DLR tracks are in the background and I wonder if the queue of people is waiting for a replacement bus service. |
