Details: The Transport for London Cycle Hire scheme started at the end of July 2010, and is supported by a fleet of vans and cars. Although not strictly service vehicles I felt it was worth illustrating some of them, while a list of the vehicles is also being compiled in the forum section. The vehicles wear joint Barclays/TfL branding and most have a white and two-tone blue livery somewhat similar to that of London Underground. They also carry fleetnumbers in a similar position to central fleet vehicles. First to be seen were some Nissan NV200 vans engaged in maintaining the roadside control points and bike stands. These were followed by a fleet of Ford Focus cars (mainly black or silver) that were used to tow bike-carrying trailers. After a few weeks, the latter were joined by several of these small electric trucks. Built in Italy by Alke (note the left-hand drive), they have a flatbed section and a cab that can (only just!) seat two. Fleetnumber AO1 was seen passing the Bank of England on 27th August 2010, towing trailer VT16.
