Details: A new van for the Emergency Response Unit was delivered in October 2017, this being a short-wheelbase Volkswagen Transporter crew van. It replaced smaller Renault Kangoo Maxi 7727R and carries the same livery of white/blue with a blue/yellow/blue stripe and red bonnet. Derek found it parked at Morrisons in Acton on 5th November 2017. A couple of observations. There is what appears to be a camera in the windscreen, alongside the rear-view mirror. The blue notice nearby does state that CCTV recording is in operation and has also been seen on various recent deliveries (including the London Buses Toyota Yaris cars) although I was not sure what, where or when they would be recording. The second point is the rectangular aperture just above the number plate. This is not a VW item (compare with similar 8199VW) and I have noticed a similar object on several new National Express coaches. I presume it is either a camera or a sensor of some sort but please send your answers on a postcard to the usual address!
