Details: For several years Tube Lines (and London Underground before it) has had a licence to operate one or two PCVs (passenger carrying vehicles). Such vehicles can generally be recognised by carrying the operator's address low on the nearside, and all such examples in the service vehicle fleet have been Ford Transit minibuses. The first known were Mark 4 Transits 2502F and 2503F (plus 2506F later), followed by Mark 5s 5076F and 5077F, then Mark 6 5724F and finally (for now) Mark 7 6426F. The latter two were both of the extended length variety, seating 17. The offside lettering gives instructions for shutting off the engine, while the nearside legal lettering can be seen here. On 31st March 2009 the minibus was parked at Acton Works alongside the disused community exhibition vehicle M1020. By the way, the Ford Transit designations given here are the correct (if unofficial) ones. Those given in my article on Ford Transits were wrong and will be amended in due course!
