Details: Derek paid a visit to Hounslow Heath garage on 4th August 2020 and found that there were no fewer than twelve new Renault Master vans present at the back of the yard. There have been no new Renault Master service vehicles for a few years, and the model has undergone another of its periodic revamps. The appearance is quite distinctive but the grille trim makes me think of a mad grin as on a clown or The Joker! The vans were all high-roof versions and, as on some other models, this results in a somewhat 'bolted-on' appearance of the roof. Although not clear in this view, the side lettering is currently limited to 'Engineering Support' with 'RATP Group' beneath and a Buses roundel towards the rear. There is no mention of the individual operators (e.g. London United, London Sovereign etc), and there are no fleetnumbers, though either or both may be added when the vans enter service.
