Details: Caught as it was leaving Acton Works on 7th May 2015, 7954F is a high-roof Ford Transit Custom van with rather unusual lettering. On the cab doors is 'Track Manufacturing Department, Calibration Section'. Although it was reported at Frank Pick House later that month, I would imagine it is allocated to Ruislip Depot. Writing this caption I have made a belated realisation. Vans in the original LUL white/blue livery (and also the Tube Lines and Metronet variations) usually had the company name and logos in two positions on each side. A larger version was placed near the rear on the bodyside, with a smaller copy on the doors. The red-stripe LUL livery has just one on each side, plus one on the front. There is therefore space on the doors for department lettering, but very few examples have been noted.
