Details: 3478B was an inspector's van often to be found parked in Victoria Bus Station and hence was one of the most frequently photographed service vehicles, despite only being in stock for about 15 months. Acquired on lease from Avis in November 1986, it was reportedly withdrawn in February 1988 while the majority of the same batch lasted until 1989 or 1990. I liked this photo (taken on 12th April 1987) because it also includes a Green Line TDL coach, a very unusual sight in the bus station.

Thomas YoungRef the two Ford Transits and one Sherpa van, they are quite likely to be BR vans, although no lettering is apparent. Were BT vans still yellow in 1987?Sun 15/01/17, 19:59
