Details: Somewhat unexpected was the delivery of several Volkswagen Crafter vans to LUL's Hainault Depot in October 2020. Two were present on the 21st, with 9126VW nearest the camera and 9125VW on the other side of the Sixt hired Ford Transit. A couple of days later 9127VW was added, perhaps as a replacement for the hired Transit. Also visible in this line-up are two of the existing allocation of Ford Transits, 8406F and what is probably 8409F on the end. The new Crafter vans are similar in configuration to the recent LBSL Incident Response Units (i.e. medium wheelbase and high-roof) though they are notable for having a full set of LUL/TfL lettering but no side skirts or stripes. The reasons for this are not known, perhaps being because the large black plastic rubbing strip takes up so much space. |

Thomas Young | I've just noticed that these Crafters differ from the LBSL vans and the LUL crew vans (and indeed the first LUL van 8934VW) in not having any white between the front grille and the bumper. | Sat 31/10/2020, 00:51 |
