| Details: A 'bus show' was held at Stagecoach London's West Ham garage on 23rd July 2016, with numerous vintage and current buses on display. Sovereign Recovery had three vehicles on show, including DAF XF RO14TOR and Skoda estate car DK65WUT. The third vehicle was BV16ACU, a three-axle DAF CF lorry fitted with a tilting flat-bed. I wasn't going to add this to the database since this type is not normally used for bus recovery work. However, it is clearly capable of carrying at least smaller buses, with preserved Centrewest Mercedes-Benz minibus MA1 seen about to be hoisted on-board. A large fleet of these minibuses worked on Gold Arrow (routes 28, 31 and 70) and U-Line (Uxbridge area) services from the late 1980s. Curiously MA1 had blinds for the former but logos for the latter. | |||
