1. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many working practices at organisations such as LUL have had to be revised, and this has resulted in vehicles being temporarily re-allocated. Unfortunately, with people not being able to get out and about, we are unable to provide much information on such changes. One vehicle that has been redeployed is this Ford Transit crew van numbered 8463F. Latterly allocated to Stratford Market Depot, it had found a new use as a garden ornament in Harold Wood, covering for a gnome that was caught up in quarantine restrictions whilst trying to visit its family in Texas.

2. I have sometimes wondered why LUL Ford Transit vans and crew vans come in various lengths and heights. Ford Transit 8463F was specified as a medium-wheelbase, mid-height crew van specifically so that it could fit (only just) in this front garden in Harold Wood.

3. Ford Transit crew van 8463F was new in October 2017 and, being based at Stratford Market Depot, was only ever seen out and about during the night. That was until London Spotter found it parked in Harold Wood on 4th February 2021.
