Details: Not a great photo, but the best one we have of a unique vehicle in the fleet. Vauxhall Insignia estate car LT59HWD was new in September 2009 for use by the Train Operations Manager based at Morden. This role has previously been referred to on the vehicles as the Duty Response Manager, but this one is lettered as an Incident Response Vehicle. As with Ford Galaxy 6552F (which performs a similar role at Wembley Park), additional lettering for 'Incident Officer' appears in the curious position of above the rear wheelarch. As far as I can tell, this is the first time a liveried vehicle has been used in this role south of the Thames. Earlier vehicles at Morden, and those at North Greenwich, have been unmarked. Other IRVs can be found at Harrow-on-the-Hill, Acton Town, Edgware Road and Arnos Grove. Note the curious black wheels.
