Details: This newly-acquired vehicle was visible during the recent Acton Museum Depot open day but it was parked at the inaccessible top end of the yard. Fortunately Damon was there the day before (22nd September 2017) and sent in this excellent photo. GX52ZGR is a Fiat Ducato with a curious configuration of bodywork. At first I thought it was a catering truck but it is in fact a motorcycle transporter, the unique feature of which is that the floor in the rear section can be lowered almost to ground level to ease loading and unloading. The LT Museum will not be moving motorbikes around but it was chosen to transport items such as the kid's inflatables, which are rather bulky and heavy when deflated and folded up. Two other notable features are the twin light-bars and the fleetnumber LTM008. We knew about LTM001-003 and LTM004 has now been applied to the Optare Excel exhibition bus R197DDX. I assume that LTM005/6/7 are on the two Citroen Relay exhibition units and Fiat Ducato van LC61FMU, none of which were present that weekend. Also notably absent were the two learning buses, neither of which has been seen for a couple of years. I have since been advised that these are still owned but kept in a yard in Kent, along with at least one of the exhibition units.
