LUL likes (or liked) Renault Kangoos, and they like crew vans, but not together. Over 360 Kangoo vans have been leased since 2008, but all except four were plain vans. The exceptions were four electric crew vans that arrived in 2018. One (8681R) was in LUL Incident Response Vehicle livery, and this left the fleet in late 2023. The other three were in normal LUL white/blue/red and based at Lillie Bridge, and Ray found two of them in the lorry yard at Acton Works on 13th July 2024. Nearest was 8603R with 8604R beyond. Their presence here would suggest they were due for disposal, but in the event it looks as though they did not leave until September. I should perhaps mention that it is possible that some of the other Renault Kangoos were 'secret' crew vans, i.e. with a second row of seats but without the windows in the cargo doors. Also visible in this photo is Ford Transit crew van 8284F, and this did leave the fleet later in July, even though we are not aware of any new comparable-sized vans being delivered. |
