Former service vehicles were a lot easier to identify in the old days of block registrations being applied. No fewer than 37 London Transport service vehicles were given THV/S registrations, including 2083B, a Bedford CF220 from a batch of 7 assigned to the Publicity department. Although I have no other photos of vehicles from this batch, I suspect they were delivered with sliding cab doors. The presence of capped holes in the bodywork on this example (three below the cantrail, where the door-runner would have been, and two on the bonnet side, where the mirror would have been attached) suggests that the hinged door is a later modification. |
