Details: This photo shows two more LTB Ford Transit vans from the third batch (of 7) leased in late 1997. Seen at Harrow Bus Station were 4800F, with similar 4802F peeking in on the right. James had reported seeing both of these vans at this location on 18th April 2001, but I am not sure that this photo was taken on that occasion. The minibus era in London was drawing to a close at this time, the last survivors being larger Mercedes-Benz T2 models, such as the Plaxton-bodied 811D seen here. Sovereign 435 (with 'select' registration K5SBC) had been new in 1993 but was replaced on route H10 (and others) by a batch of new Dennis Dart SLF buses in 1999. 435 was likely transferred elsewhere but was in any case withdrawn by spring 2001. 4800F and 4802F were both withdrawn on 24th September 2001, having been replaced by Vauxhall Movano vans 5207V and 5208V.
