| Seen in the large yard at Abellio's Battersea Garage on 15th August 2023, this Citroen Dispatch van MT17UMJ had fleetnumber 6904 marked on the back. This suggests that it was acquired in about 2019/2020, although it had never previously been reported. A clue may be in the secondary lettering, which reads 'Technical Engineering Support', unlike other vans which just show 'Engineering Support'. There is also the matter of the side stripe. Some vans have a green stripe, some an orange one. I had guessed that the green stripe might indicate ULEZ compliance, but this now seems unlikely, and is in any case now largely irrelevant. It could in fact be a policy change. Vans numbered 6901 to 6903 have green stripes, while 6906 upwards have orange. By the way, I can now add that MJ17USE at Walworth (with an orange stripe) is numbered 6905, which completes the set of numbers 6900 to 6910. The fleetnumber for DV69EOO (at Fulwell) has not yet been reported but could perhaps be 6911. Finally, the purple bus alongside is a driver trainer. |
