The Docklands Light Railway has been renewing its service vehicle fleet recently, with new Peugeot vans replacing similar 4-5 year old ones. Vehicles are allocated fleetnumbers in a series starting at 001, and the new vehicles are being given re-used numbers, presumably inherited from the vehicles they have replaced. Fleetnumbers run as high as 039 but we have not (yet) had enough reports to compile a comprehensive list. Kim found Peugeot Boxer van 008 (GJ72NGU) parked near Bow Church Station on 27th March 2023. The previous 008 had been very similar GJ18ELU. Note the Spirit of London lettering on the bus in the background. This is Stagecoach 11377 (SK20BBF), which was so adorned following the withdrawal of older bus 18500. The latter had gained the branding as it was bought to replace the bus destroyed in the terrorist bombings of July 2005. |
