Details: Vauxhall Movano minibus 8302V makes its fifth appearance on LTSV with this photo taken on the oddly named Thors Oak (no apostrophe) in Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, on 25th January 2022. 8302V was one of three similar vehicles leased in spring 2017 for use by London Buses on passenger survey work. They were given a livery of white and blue with a red stripe, very similar to the standard LUL livery but with all-red roundels. It is thought that this was to become the new standard livery for LBSL service vehicles (it was also applied to five Toyota Yaris cars), though it seems to have later been dropped in favour of generic TfL white/blue. The minibuses were originally based at Chancel Street in Southwark, though their current home is not known. It is also possible that the COVID-19 pandemic has seen them switched to other roles, as a couple of sightings have suggested they were working for LUL.
