Ford Transit mid-height crew van 5414F was new in April 2003 but managed to evade our cameras until 25th August 2006, when Ray found it leaving Acton Works. Carrying standard Metronet livery, this is one of several such vans to carry an unusual type of roof rack, the purposes of which are unknown. Note the two handles extending down each side.

I am reliably informed that the roof-rack fittings are a ladder carrier, the handles enabling ladders to be unloaded from ground level. Network Rail uses similar fittings on many of their vans.
