| Transport UK seems to have embarked on a program to apply lettering to many of its recently acquired crew ferry cars. Some also have fleetnumbers, while those without are no doubt allocated one. The number series used started (under Abellio control) at 6700 in about 2009 and is now in the high 6800s, although there are lots of gaps in our records. A recent addition is Vauxhall Astra hatchback LK18YGP, acquired in about April 2024 and numbered 6884. It was captured at the small Cheviot Road bus stand in Norwood on 13th August 2024. Other numbers up to 6897 had also been reported by this time, which suggests that they will now have a slight problem. Numbers from 6900 have been used for engineering support vans, so the series used for cars will presumably have to jump (either forwards or backwards) to avoid clashes. I await reports of any sightings that show which approach is taken. |
