| Details: Van and minibus versions of the Mk5 Ford Transit could be distinguished by the black vent moulding towards the top of the rear corners. The Transit van has always been available in a variety of sizes, and this is an example of the smallest (short wheelbase, low-roof). 4765F was new in June 1997 and was allocated to Ruislip Depot, carrying appropriate 'Central line' lettering. Vehicles from Ruislip were amongst the most rarely seen, but fortunately James encountered 4765F in Acton. It was parked in the small car park on Osborne Road, close to the junction with Bollo Lane, the building in the background with blue windows being Bollo House. Service vehicles were occasionally parked here (as with 4594F and R504WMV), although it is not known if they were connected with Bollo House or with the adjoining Smallbills garage. In any case, the car park has now disappeared with the building of a new block of flats here. 4765F was withdrawn in November 2000 but gave almost another 10 year's use to subsequent owners. | ||
