| Belying its 21 year age, and its status as a current service vehicle, this Volkswagen Caddy van is actually part of the Metroline fleet. New as LR52LXM in 2003, it was re-registered to 33LUG by 2012. 33LUG was a registration that R&I Coaches had bought and used on a succession of their buses and minibuses. After Metroline bought R&I, it appeared on other vehicles, including mobile classroom buses M151 and AV33. By 2018 the van had been re-registered again, this time to RCZ7361. This was another re-used mark, having been carried by Metroline Mercedes Sprinter van WV51PZE from 2009. This small van has kept a low profile lately, and it seems to be based at the former First London garage in Hayes. No longer working any TfL bus routes, the base is used for engineering and storage, and also as home to part of the co-owned Westbus fleet of coaches and double-deck buses. This photograph was taken at Hayes Garage on 31st August 2024. |
