Recent visits to Acton Works have been a bit disappointing in terms of finding new vehicles, and it appears that the flow of deliveries has not yet returned to normal. However, there is usually something of interest. On 12th March 2022 Ray found Mercedes Sprinter hoist 8232 in the DSM yard. New in spring 2017 this vehicle carries generic TfL white/blue but is believed to be used by LBSL Technical Services, and can normally be found parked at their Mandela Way base. It replaced Ford Transit 6794F (which had London Buses lettering) and we have never been entirely sure of the function they perform. Best guess was that it was to facilitate access to iBus equipment mounted on the roofs of buses. |
