Looking at this picture has taught me something new about Ford Transits! Seen rounding the Elephant and Castle on 21st March 2011, EA60TGZ is a medium-wheelbase Mk7 van operated by London Central from Peckham Garage. It had replaced equally anonymous short-wheelbase Mk6 ET05GXG a few months earlier. Comparison of the two photographs will show that the difference in length is barely discernible. However, the position of the gutter rail (to which roof-racks are attached) does vary. It turns out that all short-wheelbase vans have the rail immediately above the doors, while medium-wheelbase vans have it further up (near the top on mid-height vans like this one, half-way up on high-roof examples). |
