With Metroline taking delivery of new service vehicles from July 2024 onwards, it would seem logical that the vehicles in this photo (taken at Perivale CELF on 8th August) are the those that have been replaced. While 19 and 20-reg vans may seem a bit young for disposal, they are in fact among the oldest in the Metroline fleet. However, the most interesting aspect of this photo is the inclusion of AX19ZFG on the left. The registration suggests that this was acquired at the same time as the three other AX19ZF- vans (in August 2019). But ZFG was never reported or photographed (until this photo). It had company lettering so how it managed to avoid being seen for 5 years is a mystery! Of the others, AX19ZFR was previously at Edgware (EW) and AY20YYV at Willesden Junction (WJ), so these two garages would probably be good places to look out for new vans at. On the right is Renault Grand Scenis car MF70NFE, one of a pair which have seen some use as crew ferries but which mainly seem to be kept at the CELF. |
