| Malcolm Conway has been scanning his extensive transport photograph collection and has kindly shared quite a few SV pictures from the 1990s, most of which are of previously unseen vehicles. Shown here is Thamesway Austin FX4 taxi HYE545W at Romford Bus Station on 15th March 1997. Already over 16 years old at the time, the vehicle lasted only until the end of 1998. Although Thamesway had a large presence on LRT tendered work, most of the bus routes into Romford (apart from some Mobility Buses) were non-LRT and worked from depots at Brentwood and Basildon. The vehicle behind could also be described as a service vehicle, being one of seven Ford Transit minibuses acquired by Capital Citybus for crew ferry work. All came from the first batches of National Bus Company minibuses (in this case Midland Fox). However, as the vehicles were unmodified and were listed in bus fleetlists of the time, they have not been added to the database here. |
