Details: Nissan Leaf car KE14FJO has had a somewhat uneventful life. New in autumn 2014, it spent a few months working from Acton before moving to Eltham in February 2015, where it has remained ever since. Being over six years old, it has lasted longer than most central fleet cars, including similar Nissan Leaf LR14FFM which (for reasons that are not clear) was given fleetnumber 7762N but which was withdrawn in 2019. Although the shade of red on these two is much darker than standard 'LT' red, KE14FJO is now the only vehicle remaining in the red with orange squares livery introduced in 1999. Indeed, with the departure of the red Mercedes Sprinter IRUs (like 7848M and 7863M seen in the background of this photo taken on 22nd September 2020), the only red service vehicles are KE14FJO and perhaps a couple of vehicles used by the LT Museum. Actually, I need to add the qualifier of 'central fleet' to that statement, since many bus companies still specify red livery for their vans and minibuses.
