| 5664F Dual Personality ? | Fri 24/03/06, 10:05 |

| Here is one for the experts - Steve Howard maybe? On the database 5664F is clearly listed as KC04YGM - a red LBSL, Transit 300, mwb, mid-height, 9 seat Minibus - & is photographed as such! On Wednesday 23rd March 2006, a blue & white, Metronet BCV, 85 T280, low-roof Transit left Acton Works & was photographed by myself. The full side-on shot clearly shows the serial 5664F ! The picture is very good quality - on a 9 megapixel camera, I would hope so - and the details 85 T280 are also very clear. Unfortunately I did not record the registration as I was probably busy lining up another shot. Can anyone suggest what this latter vehicle should be? I note from the db, that KC04YJV fits the bill & has no serial shown. Any suggestions welcomed. John L-M (back in Leeds) |

| John, I tried Acton Works last night but YJV wasn't in the night's run-out; probably a daytime vehicle like most of the Connect vans. I will keep a lookout, maybe it has a different number on the nearside! If you feel like meeting up on a future visit to town, it would be good to see you. Cheers, Steve | |||

| Checks on times of photographs, & my notebook for 22.03.06, now lead me to be virtually 100% certain that KC04YJV is the blue & white 85 T280 Transit that I photographed, carrying the incorrect serial of 5664F - properly allocated to KC04YGM. I had in fact logged KC04YJV ! What is not known is what the correct serial of KC04YJV should be. One to be aware of ! (Steve Howard - I consider you an expert !)

| Thanks for the undeserved compliment but I regret I can't help you on this. I have only seen the red 5664F by registration through the bars of Victoria Coach Station basement. Despite many visits to Acton I have not seen KC04YJV at all. Had I been at Acton on Wednesday rather than Tuesday this week I could have checked the vehicle while you photographed it!! Perhaps it's another inadvertant duplication by Acton staff of which there seem to have been a few in recent times. Regards, Steve |
