Details: Here is another seemingly innocent picture about which a lot can be said! The rear half of what is now London United's Fulwell garage has seen a variety of uses over the years, most recently as the base for the Travel London operations taken over from Tellings Golden Miller. Since November 2005, the yard has also been host to vehicles of new operator NCP Challenger, who took over route 33 and therefore required a new terminal point (when London United ran this route they naturally laid over in the front yard).
With several NCP and Travel London buses in the background, this photo shows NCP's Vauxhall Combo van LR03MTX leaving the yard on 28th June 2006. This van is used for engineering support. Two similar vans used for crew ferry duties carry a plain white livery. It is notable that the registration series is very similar to that of several Vauxhall Combos in the LUL fleet. Perhaps they are leased from the same company. Finally, also in the background can be seen one of the Travel London (ex-TGM) Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibuses in the T57xFFC range.
