| This anonymous dark blue Ford Transit minibus is in fact 2063F, one of a pair of FS-class buses transferred into the service vehicle fleet in 1977 for use carrying visitors to the London Transport management training centre at Flagstaff House, Weybridge. This was a very rare example of former buses becoming service vehicles with little or no physical modification. Indeed the vehicles still retained their front blind apertures and running number plate holders. 2063F was withdrawn at the start of 1979 and sold to Ensign in the summer. Flagstaff House remained in use until at least 1989, being served by smaller Transit minibuses. At least one (3646F) was given dedicated lettering for the role. |
