Hatton Cross is usually good for a few service vehicles, and there are three line-ups of Abellio cars there in today's batch of photos. These also serve to show how the Abellio fleet is gradually moving away from being dominated by Ford Fiestas. This first view was taken on 24th October 2023 and features a couple of Fiestas on the left (both with 'local' lettering/numbers on their bonnets). In the middle is a recent addition in the shape of Kia Ceed estate AJ17MJK, still in unmarked black. On the right are Vauxhall Astra SG67VFV and Ford Galaxy ET11KWV. Following the management buy-out of Abellio's UK bus and rail operations in early 2023, I had expected the name to be changed. The Abellio name belongs to NS (Dutch Railways), the previous owners, and is still used for operations in Germany. The new owner was called Transport UK Group and this name has recently been seen applied to a new bus on delivery to what was Abellio London. Having said that, several other buses in the same batch still had Abellio London names applied, so we shall have to wait and see. |
