Details: Caught on its delivery run into Acton Works on 9th March 2011, this Ford Transit crew van was later given fleetnumber 7027F and London Underground lettering along with the customary red stripe. It is now one of many vans that are nominally based at Griffith House but in reality only visit there at the beginning of each night's work. I have left this wide-angle shot un-cropped on purpose. The brick structure in the background is the remains of a bridge support for a railway line connecting Acton Town and South Acton stations. This line closed many years ago. It occurred to me that the rather tight turn from the works into Bollo Lane (particularly for articulated vehicles) could be eased if the bridge support was demolished and the access road straightened out.
