Details: Go-Ahead London received a new Ford Transit dropside truck in March 2009, notable for featuring battery electric propulsion. As such it gained green leaves on its red livery, similar to the various hybrid powered buses entering service at present. Calling it 'Go-Aheads Little Green Van' is a bit much though. Apart from the missing apostrophe, it's not really green, and it's not a van! Anyway, the vehicle will be used to transport stores between its home at Camberwell and the other garages in the group, presumably replacing similar Transit EA53JVK. By the time it was photographed leaving New Cross garage on 31st March 2009, it had gained a fleetnumber of MF1. Ray suggests that this may refer to it being 'Milk Float 1'! Note that Ray also managed to catch another hybrid SV in the form of a TfL Streets Toyota Prius passing in the background.
