Further renewal of the Metroline service vehicle fleet commenced with the arrival of more small vans from mid-July 2024. The type shown here was not immediately recognisable and it is in fact a new version of the Ford Transit Courier. The initial (2014) design was built in Turkey and had styling based on the contemporary Ford Fiesta car, including a sloping bonnet. The new design (launched in 2023 and which I have called the Mk.2) is built in Romania and features a flatter bonnet with an upright front grille that wraps into the headlights. AV24TGF was unmarked when photographed at Perivale CELF on 25th July 2024, and it features a shade of red rather less London-like than earlier vans. It was later allocated to Brentford Garage. |
