| Mercedes Sprinter crew van 8177M is easy to see, and has racked-up an impressive 61 sightings on LTSV. Notably, 55 of these sightings were at Finchley Central Station, where it is usually kept in the gated yard. For a change, it was parked outside the yard on 2nd October 2022, allowing Bob to capture this view of its offside. Fourteen of these vans were leased in late-2015 and were initially to have been numbered 8134-8147M. A change of plan saw the vans that would have been 8138M, 8146M and 8147M being numbered 8176-8178M instead, with the unused numbers remaining vacant. We don't know why this occurred, or whether it has also happened with other vehicles. In fact it is one of very few cases where the reasons for gaps in the sequence are (partially) known. |
