| Information on early leased service vehicles is a little patchy, since they were not included in the detailed Variation Sheets produced by London Transport. I have always listed 3021F as being a Transit 190 Crew Van, this being how it was described in London Bus Handbooks of the time. However, this photo taken at Lillie Bridge in March 1985 seems to show that it was actually a plain van (there could have been an extra row of seats inside but the policy on LTSV is to only apply the 'crew van' description to vans with extra side windows). As with most long-wheelbase Ford Transit Mk2s, this van has flared rear wheelarches and a hinged cargo door with a higher sill than the front doors. 3021F was officially allocated to the Permanent Way Manager at nearby Pelham Street, although the lettering on the doors shows 'DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING'. It took me a while to place this photo. The flats in the background are still there (fronting West Cromwell Road and North End Road), but the building on the left (with a sign saying 'KEEP CLEAR FOR CANTEEN DELIVERIES') has gone. |
