Details: Ford Transit dropside trucks with rubbish cages are not particularly common, although for several years one has been based at Pinner Station at the leafy end of the Metropolitan line. Actually, that may be a clue to the vehicles' role, as they have been seen loaded with cut-down branches and vegetation. The vehicles so far have been Mark Five 4916F (1999 to 2003), Mark Sixes 5474F (2003 to 2006) and 5957F (2006 to 2009) and now Mark Seven 6694F. On 18th May 2009 Ray found the latest vehicle passing Acton Town Station, presumably before it entered service (it had only been registered eleven days earlier). As with most recent deliveries to the erstwhile Metronet operations, no logos are carried. |
