| Details: I continue to be amazed by the views available on Google. This is Plumstead Elizabeth Line depot, and I have included four different views to highlight the fact that this is a fully 3D-modelled environment which can be viewed from any angle. The level of detail does vary somewhat. At Acton for example, individual vehicles are modelled but they are a bit more blocky. Stratford Market has a higher level of detail but suffers more from ghosting (where a vehicle has moved between photographs). There is some ghosting in this view, with what appears to be a dropside truck that was parked beyond the line of four empty spaces. The other vehicles are all very clear though, and it can be seen that eleven were present, comprising 6 Caddy crew vans, 3 Transit crew vans, one Transit dropside and one Transporter minibus. I was interested to note that there are in fact 18 parking spaces in this small yard. Given that the entire Elizabeth Line service vehicle fleet (that we know of) comprises 22 vehicles, and that 2 are kept at the Romford Network Operations Centre, this location could hold almost the whole fleet, especially as there are also usually one or two in the main car park at the other end of the grey building. | ||
