Details: An interesting development in November 2021 was a series of vehicle swaps between Stagecoach London and Stagecoach South East. A total of six red Ford Transit Custom vans dating from 2016 were moved out of London, being swapped one-for-one with newer Ford Transit Connect vans in white. The moves were said to be to do with emissions standards, presumably to avoid London vehicles incurring ULEZ charges when attending breakdowns within the North and South Circular Roads. Barking Garage's MC16YUK (which was allocated national fleetnumber 93106 but carried 95261) now resides at Thanet, while their MT70ANP (national fleetnumber 90693) moved the other way. Bob found the newer van at Barking garage on 20th November 2021, although it was unfortunately parked hard against the fence making photography difficult. This view does show the recruitment advertising carried, this reading 'Help keep us on the road. Engineering vacancies across the South East'.
