Details: Ray chalks up yet another scoop! The number of vehicles carrying London Overground livery was trebled recently with the delivery of at least four new vans. The reasons for the additions are not clear, since maintenance of the route infrastructure is normally undertaken by contractors. This photograph was taken at Silwood Triangle, a patch of open ground south of Surrey Quays station and bounded by two branches of the East London Line and the Southeastern tracks from London Bridge. A set of sidings is being built here to enable the use of 5-car trains and a vehicle yard has also been created, which will most likely become a permanent LTSV location in due course. Present on 24th January 2014 were a pair of 2-day old Renault Kangoo Maxi vans, with 7789R nearest and 7788R beyond. Note that both have roof racks with 'something' on them. Two VW Transporter crew vans were also on site, but could not be photographed due to the presence of several contractor's vehicles. One of the VWs can just be seen in the left background.
