Details: Curtain-sides are very rarely used on mid-sized service vehicles, although CDS did operate a fleet of Mercedes-Benz 307D and 410D trucks in the 1980s and 1990s. Seen here is the first reported example of a curtain-sided Ford Transit truck. Although unlettered, HJ08GMO is in the Arriva London fleet and replaced long-serving H215FLB (originally CDS 2485M) at the end of April 2008. As well as the plastic curtains, it has full-sized rear doors. The vehicle is employed ferrying engineering parts between bus garages and seems to work to a timetable of sorts. Seen at its home base of Wood Green on 28th May 2008.
