The Mk6 Ford Transit is now becoming a rare sight as a service vehicle. Apart from the possibility of exhibition unit KJ53UNW still lingering at the Acton Museum Depot (reports please), the only other examples are three with Abellio, and it would appear that none are in active use. BP06NDZ was new in 2006 and acquired by Abellio by 2012. It was usually to be found at Hatton Cross Bus Station in use as a rest vehicle, and was no doubt home-based at Fulwell. It was also noted in 2022 and 2023 at a commercial garage in South Croydon. On 6th September 2023 it was photographed parked on Haling Park Road in South Croydon. This would seem to suggest that it had been disposed of. However, it retained Abellio lettering all round (except on the offside), and its licensing data gave no indication of a change of ownership. |
