Details: This picture is puzzling! In the early days of TfL running the Streets operation, the standard livery was white with a broad orange stripe, as seen on Vauxhall Zafira LS04NXA. There then appeared several Ford Focus Estates and Transit Connect Vans in a silver livery with blue lettering. But then Ray found this brand new Vauxhall Astra Estate near Acton Works on 4th September 2006, carrying the original livery. Perhaps there is a departmental differentiation? The lettering has been updated with the addition of London Streets titling.

Kim RennieThis 'police'-type livery was inherited from the Traffic Control Systems Unit which looked after traffic lights following the abolition of the GLC. The GLC cars wore the same livery and ended up very anonymous after transfer to the TCSU as the front door lettering was removed and the orange stripe gradually faded.
