As has been noted here recently, the crew ferry vehicles for First London seem to no longer be lettered for Door to Door. Most are now unlettered, but often have paper signs in the windows. At Edmonton Green on Saturday were a white LDV Maxus minibus (BX55RYC) and a silver Berlingo (LX57WUE), while another silver Berlingo was seen at Crooked Billet (WR03FFG). I would appreciate any other reports and/or views on whether they should be added to the database. |

The majority of vehicles I have seen today still carry 'Licences' for TfL mini-cab use. Seen around Northumberland Park were LY57ANP, WN03XRT, LY56OLJ, LS53LZU, LX57WTD, WN03XRZ, WV03XFV whilst the Door-to-Door depot down the road (Garman Road, Northumberland Park) had a large number of vehicles all licensed similarly. The only problem I can see is that all, bar one, of those listed only had the one driver when going to or coming from NP. With a few of the former Orpington cars also at NP perhaps they now hire the vehicles, but without drivers, whilst the licenses are retained for Door-to-Door use when required. (LY57ANP was logo'd for Door-to-Door by the way).
