Three Vauxhall Movano minibuses were leased in 2017 for use by the London Buses Passenger Data section. These carried the LBSL version of white/blue/red livery, featuring red roundels but otherwise identical to the LUL livery. Initially based at the now-closed Chancel Street in Southwark, it is not clear where the vehicles are now allocated, or indeed which section they currently work for. They do seem to pop-up in various places, and 8304V is being shown twice in today's photos. First up is this view taken on Palmer Street in Westminster on 23rd February 2022. This location adjoins the Petty France offices used by TfL/LUL (which itself adjoins the former Broadway headquarters building), while the LT car garage at Vandon Street is nearby. Vandon Street garage is now a DPD parcels depot, but it had latterly been used by the police, while the location shown here is also clearly in use by the police. Coincidentally, the last service vehicle to be found here (6221F in 2012) had also been photographed at Vandon Street garage in 2007. So, perhaps 8304V is now used by some police-related part of TfL. This location is evidently sensitive as it has been completely blurred out on Google Streetview, despite the fact that you can walk past and see everything there! |
