The impressive frontage (or rearage!) of the former Fulwell Trolleybus depot forms an instantly recognisable backdrop to this photo of an Abellio service vehicle taken on 6th December 2022. The van is DV69EOO, a Vauxhall Vivaro that appears to have been acquired in 2021, when it was less than 2 years old. It has the orange stripe livery, which I believe relates to emissions. Vans at inner London Abellio garages tend to have green stripes, perhaps to indicate they can be used within the ULEZ area. The fleetnumber for DV69EOO is unknown but may be 6911. Note the apparent 'stranger in the camp' in the shape of an RATP BE class BYD electric single decker bus on the left. I had wondered if this was perhaps in store but Malcolm reminded me that the terminus and stand of route 33 is on this side of the garage, an arrangement that started when the route was lost on tender to NCP in 2005. Despite now being back with London United, TfL has apparently decreed that the terminus is to stay here. |
