Details: Although I recently said that six new Staff Welfare vans were delivered in September 2013, there were actually seven that arrived that month. The seventh was a bit odd though. While the others were based on the extended length Ford Transit, 7753F had a normal long-wheelbase body. Moreover it was based at Frank Pick House, rather than the adjacent Acton Works. Tube Lines (as was) had obtained three welfare vans for its Lifts and Escalators department in May 2012, numbering them 7430F, 7431F and 7432F. It seems that 7432F must have had an accident, since it was delicensed in about May 2013. Presumably 7753F was obtained as a replacement. The new van carries LUL livery and was photographed parked outside London Bridge tube station on 31st October 2013. LT63YEK, the unmarked white Vauxhall Movano van in the background, may possibly be a central fleet vehicle too.
