5834F is white (not white/blue). 5650VW is white/blue (as 5651). 5237V, 5238F, 5266F, 5462F and 5464F are regularly at GHO on late evening visits and I believe they should all be shown as allocated there. 3 white Renault Kangoo estates were visible in the Acton Works car park today, registrations YG55NXO/NXR, YK55KZY. The last two at least appeared to have fleet numbers (too small to read through the fence!) Nor was it possible to see whether they had the thin blue skirts on earlier Kangoos. If these vehicles become part of the fleet, they could be replacements for existing 5187R-5189R. A silver vehicle with white Metronet labels but no fleet number, registration KG05YUL, was seen at Acton Town today. This appeared to be labelled as a Ford Tourneo Connect, a sort of windowed version of the Transit Connect van. This may just be a short term loan vehicle?
Finally, on 2/9/05 a white/blue Astra estate registered FJ02FSC passed me near Acton Works; has anyone else seen this vehicle? Could it actually be 5367B, listed as FJ02FSV Combo van? Any ideas welcome!

This vehicle was in and out of Acton Works four times while I was at Acton on Friday. It appeared to have 3 seats in the back with probably only luggage space beyond that, thus only a 5 seater in total. Seems to be too small to be called a minibus but as the basic vehicle is not a car can this variant be called an estate?

KG05YUL added. But is it an Estate or a minibus?

The Transit Connect is a big small van, but also a small big van, if you see what I mean. So, when it comes in windowed versions (as the Ford Transit Tourneo Connect!), is it an Estate Car or a Minibus? Does anyone know how many seats they have?

This vehicle, which I saw first in October, continues to work hard for Metronet and should perhaps be added to the unnumbered vehicles list. It is a silver Ford Transit Tourneo Connect estate with white Metronet BCV logos. After a couple of appearances in the Baker Street area in November/Decmber it was today ferrying people in and out of Acton Works.
