Details: About three quarters of the 20-odd vehicles used by the Power Supply section at Tufnell Park have been withdrawn in the past year or so, with the only known replacements being a quartet of Renault Kangoo Maxi vans (8854R to 8857R). It could be that the withdrawals were due to the vehicles being non-ULEZ compliant and that replacements have not yet been delivered. This would account for the appearance of some hired vehicles, such as the Iveco Daily dropside visible on the right in this photograph taken at Tufnell Park on 7th May 2019. The main subject however is 7755F, the unique Ford Transit van that was the only vehicle taken over from the previous operator (EDF Powerlink). Although described on LTSV as a crew van (due to the extra window in the nearside only), it is clearly somewhat specialised. It has a roof-beacon and two spot-lights above the side door, and also has a Dometic air-conditioning pod. The Mk7 Ford Transit is now becoming rare in the central fleet, with fewer than 30 examples remaining, compared to about 140 Mk8s. |
