Details: There is a certain irony in this photograph, but first the facts. Ensignbus bought two second-hand Mercedes-Benz minibuses for use as crew ferry vehicles in August 2010. Both had latterly served the same function in the East Thames Buses fleet and had originated as London Dial-a-Ride vehicles. P185OLC was photographed at Lakeside Bus Station on 26th August 2010, in company with Ford Transit S549XNP. At this stage the Mercedes still retained a full set of East Thames Buses lettering.

Now the funny thing is that East Thames Buses was formed to take over the operations of Harris Bus. Although latterly concentrated south of the river, the operation had originally been based at Grays in Essex (near Lakeside), with LBSL routes won in the Romford and Ilford areas and commercial services to Lakeside both within Essex and from North Kent.
