There are several differences between these two cars seen in the lorry yard at Acton Works on 26th October 2024. Both are Toyota Yaris hybrids in the initial TfL livery (white with a blue skirt). However, the frontal design was changed between the 2014 model on the left and the 2019 one on the right, while the former also sports a light-bar. LL14VKU on the left was new in 2014, at a time when such vehicles were not given fleetnumbers. It was based at the TfL Streets base in Southwark, then moved to Morden Wharf Highways Alliance Depot in 2019. After that it pretty much disappeared for a couple of years, which does not bode well for our prospects of finding out what has replaced it! 8896T on the right was new in May 2019, by which time fleetnumbers were allocated to TfL cars. It too has been pretty elusive over the past five years. By the way, the van just visible on the left is one of several unmarked vans seen around Acton lately, possibly on short-term hire pending new deliveries. |
