A very useful system has developed between a couple of LTSV contributors. Ray frequently trawls through the vehicle listings on the BCA (British Car Auctions) website, looking for former service vehicles. If he finds one he puts a note against the vehicle record. The main aim of this was to enable me to then mark the vehicle as withdrawn. However, it is also used by Derek who takes his camera down to Blackbushe (almost) every time any SVs come up for auction. On 19th October 2017, Derek visited to photograph several vans that Ray had flagged. However, he also found this Ford Transit Custom van. I was quite surprised that any of these had gone off lease already, although it is in fact over three years since the first entered service. 7829F was the second of the type for LUL, new in July 2014 and based at Stratford Market Depot. As is often the case with their vans, it was mainly seen out at night. |
