| East Thames Buses has been taking a relatively large number of Mercedes Sprinter minibuses from the associated London Dial-a-Ride fleet recently, mainly for use as crew ferry vehicles. However, a couple have been lettered as Driver Assesment Vehicles, this presumably being modern speak for Trainer! Such vehicles can also be distinguished by having their number prefixes amended from the original D to T instead of E (although as usual, they have difficulty obtaining letters to the same size as the numbers!). Ray found two such vehicles at Bexleyheath on 10th December 2008, with T19 to the fore. The slightly darker shade of red (plus the Dial-a-Ride logo above the windscreen) shows that these have not been repainted for their new role. Similar T197 behind can also be seen here. |
