Details: If you like Ford Rangers, then West Kensington is the place to go, as this view taken on 29th January 2008 shows. Although the vehicles based here are shown on this website as being allocated to Lillie Bridge, the yard is actually adjacent to the platforms at West Kensington Station (behind the wall to the right). Vehicles exit using the same road as for the main depot though. Nearest the camera is 5953F, while Ford Transit van is on the left. A Transit dropside is also present, with three further Rangers all with their tailgates open. Note that the hard-tops come in two different heights. The lower example behind the Transit dropside is probably 5958F, while the two higher versions are thought to be 6114F and 6115F. The sign on the portakabin is of interest, stating 'London Underground Ltd and Wiggins Gee Construction Ltd, Working together to maintain the premises and structures of the District, Jubilee and East London lines.' These lines were of course split between Metronet and Tube Lines. |

Thomas Young | There were 5 Rangers present on 28th February. The four listed above plus one unknown. Is the ramp so steep that they need 4WD? | Sat 01/03/2008, 16:49 |
