Details: Present at Acton Works on 22nd February 2006 were a number of newly arrived Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, and one on its way out. 5400M had for some time been based at Edgware Road Station, where it carried emergency striping on its bonnet. As seen here, the rear was in standard livery. The side lettering had already been removed. With permission of Tube Lines |

Kim Rennie | Perhaps more interesting is the vehicle to the left, which looks like the BTP's former London area control vehicle N999BTP (not its original reg.) and was based I believe in the old LT Vanden Street private car garage near 55 Broadway. Presumably it's been replaced by a more modern vehicle as part of the response to 7/7. Whilst it cannot it anyway be classed as an LT/TfL service vehicle, it does show that the procurement relationship forged in the days of the LT Police continues to this day. | Sat 18/03/2006, 04:07 |
John Lloyd-Martin | The neighbouring vehicle was N999BTP as suggested, and is apparently soon to be disposed of, although the 'cherished' registration mark will be retained, presumably for future use. | Sat 18/03/2006, 11:54 |
Thomas Young | Reg N999BTP has indeed resurfaced, and its new parent can just be seen in this picture. | Fri 25/05/2007, 22:25 |
