Details: The first of two interesting vehicles vehicle photographed by Scott at Hyde Park Corner on 6th December 2006 was London Buses Vauxhall Movano van 6026V. This is obviously a specialised vehicle although its actual role is unknown. There is a framework on the roof to which two cameras are attached, both pointing to the nearside, one almost level, the other straight down. There is also a black box overhanging the nearside, while the offside has a single beacon light. Finally, there is another camera in the windscreen. What we can say is that this is the first example of the revised Movano seen as a service vehicle. The design is also available as the Renault Master and Nissan Interstar, and one of the latter was hired by LBSL earlier in 2006.

scott tillbrookThe little black box hanging of the side may have something to do with the avl system becouse it looks the same as the boxes you get at the road side and to the ones that are fitted to the buses themselfs.Thu 14/12/06, 19:54
