20/12/07
 I have just added four pictures taken earlier today. Three show the former ERU Volvos now in general use at Acton.
17/12/07
 A quick update with 5 new pictures tonight, including a couple of interesting recent deliveries.
12/12/07
 A list of new fleetnumbers allocated to Travel London service vehicles has been received, and the relevant records added or updated.
02/12/07
 I have today added 10 pictures (including 3 oldies) and brought the fleet data up to date.
24/11/07
 I have tonight added 10 recent pictures.
08/11/07
 I have tonight caught up with recent fleet additions but this months first pictures will be delayed slightly.
04/11/07
 I have threatened this before but the old LTSV website will probably be taken down shortly so that the webspace can be used for a new project. If you want a final look, head to www.ltsv.com.

 from 5500') you can now specify the number of results to display, and this will carry through to the printer-friendly version too. The default value is 100 but this can be typed over.

These revised pages have been tested but please let me know if you have any problems using them. Thanks.
03/11/07
 In response to some comments about the way in which the printer-friendly fleetlist pages work, I have made some changes. On normal fleet data selections (such as 'blue leased bedfords'), the results pages have an additional button to preview a printer-friendly page showing all the results, rather than just the current page. This page can be slow to load if you have a large number of results.
On the batch page (such as 'view all CDS vehicles numbered
21/10/07
 Another 20 recent pictures have just been added. My thanks to all contributors as usual.
08/10/07
 Another set of 23 recent pictures has just been put up. Quite varied but focusing on the smaller vehicles.
02/10/07
 I have let something of a backlog of new pictures build up over the past couple of weeks so I had better get on with uploading some, starting tonight with the first 8. These include the first views of the new ERU trucks in service, plus some more of the new Honda Civic cars.
Also, 1st October was the second 'birthday' of this website. All seems to be running smoothly with little in the way of changes needed at present. However, as always, if you have any ideas or suggestions for improvements, please get in touch.
27/09/07
 A bit of a catch up with the hired vehicles tonight. Any reports on these would be appreciated.
06/09/07
 Another 41 icons have just been added. There are now 319 in total, covering 2745 vehicles. As before, the larger source images are available if anyone wants them. Just send me an e-mail.
03/09/07
 I have just uploaded 21 new pictures, mainly recent ones but including some more model SVs. There are also a few new vehicle icons, and there have been regular fleet updates and additions.
13/08/07
 The fleetdata has been reviewed today with many updates and additional info. All the vehicles known to have been withdrawn by March 2007 have been marked as such, so the current fleet function is now usable once more.
08/08/07
 Although the article on the subject of modelling service vehicles has been delayed, I have just posted 12 pictures of some of Les Wrangle's superb conversions and repaints.
05/08/07
 30 new pictures have just been added, including proper views of the new LBSL Honda Civics and ERU Ategos.
27/07/07
 Quite a few new deliveries have just been added. To make way for some of these, four dubious older entries have been deleted. Evidence suggests that the following vehicles were never SVs. KD55MJX, KJ06JXA, KJ06KKZ and VN56TKV.
15/07/07
 Tonight's updates features 24 photos taken in the past few weeks, with a slightly wider than usual range of subects. The model service vehicle pictures have been held over until next time.

Something of a milestone will be achieved with the next update as it should include the 2000th photograph to be added to this site. A big thanks to all the contributors who continue to inundate me with interesting and high-quality material. Likewise to the spies who report new vehicles and add useful bits of information here and there.
01/07/07
 A batch of 15 pictures has just been added, all of which were taken during June. The next set will inlcude some photos of model service vehicles, and also of real SVs in unusual locations.

I am aware that there have been some web site availability issues of late. If you get an 'Err:Conn' message, please try again after a few minutes.

Finally, please note that as of today it will be illegal to smoke on this website ;-)
07/06/07
 Time for another trip to the archives, with 20 pictures from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. This is topped up with 5 more taken in the last week.
01/06/07
 Straight into June with 25 new pictures which, I hope you will agree, contain quite a few interesting items.
29/05/07
 15 recent pictures have just been added, along with two new locations (WOW - Wembley Olympic Way LBSL and CHF - Chingford LBSL).
There does appear to be a glitch with the revised pages (text appears in links area of picture view page when no location is added). I will try and fix this tomorrow.
Note: Entry edited by Tom Young, 30/05/07, 21:00.
Picture view page now corrected. Please let me know of any other bugs.
27/05/07
 Several pages have been revised today, and there is also a new comments sections for locations. For more information see this forum post
19/05/07
 All the newly reported bus company vehicles have now been added and I have started back on the central fleet updates by doing numbers 5901 to 6000. I hope to catch up with some recent pictures shortly.
12/05/07
 The reason there have been fewer updates than usual over the past few weeks is that I have been busy producing another publication for LOTS. This will be a booklet (titled SUP24C in their Supplementary Publications series) listing the current service vehicle fleets of all the major operators in London. Over 1200 vehicles are included across 40 pages and the price will be just £2.50. More details will be available from www.lots.org.uk soon.

A lot of new and updated information came to light during the preparation of this publication, and this will be added here over the next few days.
22/04/07
 OK, you have been patient. Just uploaded are 52 new pictures, including some more from Acton Works (with thanks to Tube Lines and Metronet), recent developments around the bus companies, and some gems from the Kim Rennie collection.
I have also been updating the fleet data records with newly received official information. Vehicles numbered 5701-5900 have so far been done with more to follow.
25/03/07
 34 more pictures have just been added including some more from Acton plus a couple of surprises.
18/03/07
 Added today are 20 recent pictures, including the first from our visit to Acton Works. I hope you will excuse the fact that 10 photos are of the same vehicle!
11/03/07
 Having received some official information there will be a large number of fleetdata additions and updates over the next few weeks. Click the View latest data link on any page to see the most recent.

There are also loads of photographs waiting to be put up and I will get onto these just as soon as I can.
26/02/07
 Sorry for the lack of additions recently. I have been busy with other projects, although updates to the fleet information are continuing.

There is an open weekend at the Acton Depot of the LT Museum on 3rd and 4th March. This is themed on LT in miniature and will be the last open weekend until 2008. Then, on the evening of Tuesday 6th March, there will be an LTSVplus social meeting in a central London pub. All are welcome. Please e-mail me if you are interested.
02/02/07
 Another batch of 12 pictures has just been posted and they are once again from the past couple of weeks. With the quantity and quality of submissions it is easy to neglect the archives! Maybe next time...
A milestone just achieved is the logging of 10,000 sightings. Blimey.
21/01/07
 Finally, the first pictures of 2007 have been posted, comprising 19 taken in the last month and one in... 1975.
14/01/07
 Another quick fleet update sees 3 vehicles added and 6 updated. Thanks to all contributors for these and the continuing supply of photos. I hope to add the next batch of pictures within a couple of days.
03/01/07
 Happy New Year to you all. Today's update is a round up of recent fleet additions. I have been rather busy of late so the next set of pictures are not yet ready. Apologies also if I have not yet replied to certain e-mails. All contributions are appreciated and I will try and catch up over the next few days.
