Details: Ray and I visited the Abellio (formerly Travel London) garage at Hayes on 15th May and found no fewer than 12 service vehicles present, along with just 6 buses. However, six of the service vehicles were out of use, dumped in the tiny yard at the back of the main garage building. These are visible from the road (beyond the fence in the background) but we were given permission to have a look around and take some photos. Visible here are two Ford Fiesta vans that started life with British Telecom, and that may have later served Wings Buses. Note that the rear fleetnumbers do not match those on the offside, presumably as a result of door swapping. No.4 (R753VUK) had the door off No.2 (P425MOK, withdrawn earlier in the year), while No.5 (R568VUK) had the door off No.4! In the background is Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van LX51WAJ, which at least had some company lettering, albeit outdated. All these vehicles were allocated 89xx fleetnumbers by Travel London but these were never applied.
