• Will British Rail be buying European vehicles for its fleet? It is understood that this Volkswagen LT50 conversion was delivered to British Rail only one week ago as part of an evaluation process being undertaken by the state-owned company. A similarly-bodied Renault Dodge 50 series is also expected to be trailed by BR.
The vehicle pictured here is a Whitacres crew cab conversion with a tipping body.
It has a similar specification to that of other British-built light chassis that are already in service with the British Rail fleet.
