The other Abellio LDV Convoy minibus photographed at Byfleet on 2nd May 2011 was low-roof BK03YGE, technically now numbered 6309 but looking fairly anonymous. Its former Royal Mail fleetnumber of 3751004 can just be made out above the windscreen, but perhaps more interesting are the traces of Post Bus lettering on the sides. A small number of Post Office minibuses and cars were used to carry passengers as well as mail, primarily in remoter regions such as the highlands of Scotland but also in more unexpected areas like Surrey. The number of Post Bus routes was gradually reduced until the last was withdrawn in 2017. |
