Details: When new in September 2008, 6602VW was one of a pair of VW Transporter vans allocated to the TfL Highways operation based at Carlisle Lane, Waterloo, for which it was appropriately lettered. This base was vacated later in the year, and the unit itself appears to have closed down in 2009 or 2010. The two vans were seen occasionally afterwards although it was not until 16th October 2010 that we were able to find out what had happened to 6602VW. On that date there was an open day at the LT Museum Depot in Acton, and 6602VW was found parked in the rear yard with the two education department Iveco exhibition units. As can be seen, it had had its lettering removed (apart from the fleetnumber), and was coupled to the small trailer used for schools visits. Note that the parking bay is still marked with the registration number of earlier Ford Transit 5494F.
