Details: The central fleet contained 23 minibuses in April 2000, all being based on the Ford Transit (although some were badged as Tourneos). A few smaller vehicles were still being bought rather than leased, and the 23 included 3 numbered in the owned fleet (2502/3/6F), 19 numbered in the leased fleet and one un-numbered. A fairly typical example was long-wheelbase (15-seat) Mk5 Transit 4783F, new in June 1997. Minibuses often had a slightly higher specification than comparable vans, and this can be seen here with the addition of smart wheeltrims and headlamp washers. The effect is slightly spoiled however by the dent and rust on the front nearside. The department lettering reads just TrackForce, and this vehicle was allocated to Ashfield House at Lillie Bridge, lasting until late 2003 (by which time it had come under the Metronet BCV organisation). Colin caught it turning onto Victoria Street on 17th May 1999, most likely having come from the Broadway offices. |
