Details: Despite the apparent success of models such as the Ford Escort and Vauxhall Astra, other models have sometimes been taken as service vehicles for no obvious reason. Examples of this include the Vauxhall Cavalier and, as seen here, the Ford Sierra. Five of the Estate version of this car have been used since 1985 and the picture above shows the first of these. Taken at Golders Green bus station on 28th December 1985, it shows 3330F (C109GWC) in use by the Signal Engineer. The vehicle was mostly based at Griffith House, Marylebone, and carried a flashing beacon for use in emergencies. 3330F remained in use for a fairly typical 3 and a half years, being disposed of in March 1989.
