Some older (but not OLD) photos have been submitted recently, including two taken by John Godwin at Byfleet on 2nd May 2011. This base was operated by Abellio at the time, and both of the photos show former Royal Mail LDV Convoy minibuses in use as crew ferry vehicles. First up is high-roof BX02EPK, which was numbered 6311 by Abellio but which has no sign of its new ownership. Indeed some of the former Royal Mail markings are still visible, particularly on the front roof dome. Royal Mail vehicles all have a national fleetnumber, parts of which are based on the year of acquisition and the type of vehicle. I don't know how to translate 1780968 though. Most vehicles also have a local fleetnumber, with a prefix for the post code or area they are based in. This minibus was SW11, which was presumably South West London. Rumours that there will be a new LTSV website covering Post Office vehicles are completely unfounded! |
