| Details: Most of the vehicles in the DSM yard at Acton Works on 10th July 2021 were Mk8 Ford Transits, including van 8503F. New in September 2017 this vehicle is notable for carrying incorrect fleetnumber 8530F on both sides. Rather annoyingly, the real 8530F is also a mid-height Transit, though it can be recognised by being a crew van and long wheelbase. The real 8530F seems to be a Northern Line vehicle, having been based variously at Edgware and Morden. The allocation of 8503F is less clear, although sightings at Lambeth North and Regents Park suggest that it is assigned to the Bakerloo Line. As such, it is most likely based at the small London Road depot near to Elephant and Castle. Visible on the right is Ford Transit Courier crew van 8105F from a batch new in late 2015 and initially based at Lillie Bridge. Two of the batch (8105F and 8106F) appear to have had a stay of execution, being transferred to other roles, perhaps due to the disruption to fleet renewal caused by the COVID-19 situation. 8105F's presence at Acton may indicate that its time is now up. | ||
