TfL's Taxi-Private Hire division is shown on LTSV as 'TfL PCO' since it originated as the Public Carriage Office. They operate a fleet of six minibuses (plus a couple of cars) which are mainly used by staff undertaking checks on taxis and mini-cabs. This suggests that the vehicles will be mostly used in the evening and around particular entertainment hot-spots. It also seems likely that they have not been very busy during the COVID-19 pandemic, when 'staying-in' became the new 'going-out'. Livery is an attractive white/blue/lilac variation of the TfL standard layout, as seen on VW Transporter minibus 8601VW at North Greenwich Station on 24th August 2021. I initially referred to this livery as white/blue/purple, but then the Elizabeth Line vehicles appeared with a stripe that was darker and could only really be described as purple. |
