Details: An interesting comparison of sizes on a trio of service vehicles in the small yard at London Road Depot (Elephant and Castle) on 25th August 2009. On the left is mid-height, medium-wheelbase Ford Transit van 6722F while on the right is jumbo (high-roof, long-wheelbase, extended body) Transit crew van 6707F. Although it took a higher fleet number, 6722F arrived a few months before 6707F, and had Metronet logos applied (not visible in this view). 6707F came after the decision to drop that name and is therefore anonymous for now. Squeezed in the middle, and characteristically hiding its face, is Renault Kangoo 6045R. Having talked about LeaseDriveVelo a couple of times recently, I noticed that both the Ford vans shown here had been supplied by Lex. This name is shown above the tax disks, and also on the number plates. Note how the jumbo Transit doesn't quite fit in the painted parking space!
