| Several VW Crafter crew vans were noted at the Bedfont dealership in mid-October 2020 and although they were in unmarked white, it was thought that they might be destined to be service vehicles. This theory was proved when Ray visited Acton Works on 24th October and found no fewer than six of them awaiting entry to service. As with the Crafter vans delivered to Hainault the preceding week, the new crew vans were finished in plain white but with full lettering. This photo shows 9144VW parked on the stub road in the works. The lettering below the fleetnumber reads DuoVan, this presumably being Volkswagen's take on the 'Kombi' branding often applied to vans that combine cargo space with additional seating. Further up the slope was a recently delivered Mitsubishi Outlander electric car, DY70SKZ. This was in unmarked white/blue but had a red bonnet and a light-bar, suggesting it may be for use by the Emergency Response Unit. The ERU has had a car in its fleet for many years but, since the departure of Volvo estate LM66UNH in early-2020 they have been making use of a standard-liveried Toyota Prius car. |
