Details: The application of new London Underground logos (and the red stripe on white/blue vehicles) is proceeding apace, although there are around 400 vehicles to be done. Ford Transit Jumbo crew van 6704F was one of the last to be delivered with Metronet logos but had been dealt with by 19th January 2010 when it was photographed at Acton Works. This photo is useful as it highlights the differences between the Jumbo Transit and the largest standard Transit. Both the vehicles seen here are long-wheelbase and high-roof. However, 6704F has an extended rear overhang. The main visual clue is the presence of body panelling (and hence skirt colour) behind the rear wheel. However, there are also extra sidelights along the sides and on the bumper, while the main sidelight is replaced by a stalked one. The mark on the rear bodyside (below the logo) is thought to be the magnetic retainer for the fold-back rear doors, and can be seen more clearly here.
