| On 5th April 2020, Michael took his 'permitted exercise' by walking to RATP-Dev's Twickenham garage. Among various vehicles parked up were most of the 'Slide Ealing' MAN minibuses, which come in two livery variations as seen here. This demand responsive service, along with the similar one in Sutton, was suspended when the COVID-19 lockdown was introduced, as it was deemed impossible to provide 2 metres separation between passengers in the rather compact vehicles. Both services were technically experimental and it remains to be seen whether they are eventually reintroduced. In terms of the service vehicles, none of the new Dacia cars were present, all presumably having been delivered to their new home garages. One of the replaced vehicles was present, this being Ford Fiesta van LS15DXO, latterly at Edgware Garage. New as fleetnumber FF26 in April 2015, the renumbering exercise of 2016 saw this become FF75026, and this van was one of only a few to actually carry its new number. |
