Another of the new TfL Ford Transit Connect crew vans seen at Tufnell Park Power Supply Depot on 7th November 2024 was 74-reg 9282F. What is slightly interesting about these vehicles is that their fleetnumbers are spread over a wide range (9211F, 9220F, 9282F, 9343F and 9351F identified so far). It is believed that fleetnumbers were assigned to vehicles when they were ordered. When batches of vehicles were ordered for a particular role or department, they would therefore often have consecutive fleetnumbers. This can be seen with the Toyota Prius cars latterly used by the Power Supply section, which were 8886T to 8892T. Could it be that a large batch of new Fords was ordered, with individual vehicles then allocated to departments as and when needed? |
