Details: Same vehicle, same location, different livery (part 1). Including in today's update are 4 photographs that show the same vehicle in the same location as photographs that have already been published. However, in each case there is a good reason! First up is a view of Iveco EuroCargo dropside lorry 2585 leaving Acton Works on 1st March 2010, comparable to another view taken back in 2006. This is the only lorry that does not come under the control of Tube Lines, and it originally had slightly wonky Metronet lettering. By early 2010 these had been replaced by London Underground lettering, including a roundel squeezed in on the front. Perhaps more interestingly it had a new fleetnumber applied that included an I suffix. It is unlikely that this will spread to the other Iveco lorries in the fleet. It is a shame that the red stripe normally a feature of the new livery was not applied. By the way, this vehicle is one of the most frequently reported, with over 70 sightings at present, most of which were at Griffith House.
