Details: There is a little bit of a mystery surrounding this van seen at Acton Works back on 5th January 2020. 9053F (and similar 9052F) had both been licensed on 26th November 2019 and delivered to Acton Works a few days later. They remained there until at least mid-January 2020, after which they seem to have been allocated to Lillie Bridge depot. However, when checked recently the licensing dates had changed, both now being shown as licensed from January 2020 (with new log books issued on the 23rd). It is possible that the initial vehicles were unsuitable for some reason and were replaced by newer examples. Although it is conceivable that these would be given the same fleetnumbers, re-use of the same registration numbers seems rather unlikely. So, I can't really explain it. Both the vans are long wheelbase, mid-height crew vans based on the '2020 Facelift' Ford Transit Mk8. Numerous other Ford vans can be seen in the background.
