There are many Network Rail branded vehicles across the country.

I distantly recall when driving to Connel Ferry station, seeing a First Scotrail maintenance van with a worker picking litter from the car park.

Have you seen a van, a car or another vehicle in a TOC livery? Got any pictures of them?

*I was tempted to put this in the Traction & Rolling Stock subforum.

Haha - well I can imagine all responses will be rolling stock of some variety... unless there are some TOC branded ships, rockets, helicopters or hovercrafts out there! o_O:D

ScotRail and South West Trains liveried vans both exist. I saw the former at Eastfield Depot on Friday, and often see the latter at various stations across the network.

There's an Arriva van always parked near where I live, that I assume to be related to ATW.

GWR green I think would look good on a van with the sliver line and the GWR on the side.

ScotRail has a large liveried road fleet including Ford Transit, Transit Courier, Fiesta, Focus, Kuga, Mitsubishi Warrier and Nissan e-NV200. The latter (electric vans) are in a reversed livery of white with blue spots

DRS has liveried Ford Transits.

The bus is good, the van I assume is white because it's fleet hire, shame they missed a trick.

Between the parallel lines
The Southern van is officially called STEVan - Southern Training and Education Van. It’s used for roadshows and community stuff as well as school events, mainly for teaching children about railway safety. It’s actually quite a good idea but it doesn’t get used all that much. I believe it was last used in Battersea last week, though, so it does make appearances here and there.

Southern also have a fleet of marked and unmarked silver fleet vehicles - mainly Toyota Hiluxes and the like. Anyone managing to call one of them out is in serious trouble...

First Kernow have a Dart and some coaches in GWR livery
Ooh, any pics?
Edit: never mind, a) you meant chocolate/cream GWR and b) I did a simple search for "First Kernow" GWR and found plenty of pics!

As an aside, Thamesdown Transport had two buses in Great Western Trains colours. That was GWT in green and ivory, the first TOC, not later FGW/GWR.

Some retro fodder:

NBC Alder Valley North operated CareLine, an wheelchair accessible bus service between London's main rail terminals and Heathrow in the mid-1980s. These adapted Leyland National Mk1s were in a 'Intercity Executive' livery. https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnmightycat/5655803574/

When the CareLine service ended, IIRC the buses ran in this livery on Beeline routes in the Thames Valley into the mid-1990's. https://www.flickr.com/photos/trolleyfan/5294935804/

'Supercar' - the Daimler DMS Fleetline (THM 515M) converted into a promotional vehicle for the launch of the One Day Travelcard:
Part London bus, part Tube train and part NetworkSouthEast liveried class 321. https://www.flickr.com/photos/22041090@N02/8024308845/

I've passed through Nairn station on a few occasions in the last couple of weeks, and each time there was Scotrail liveried Transit in the car park. It reminded me of the old "White Arrow" parcels vans that I remember seeing in my childhood.

No not the chocolate and cream one.
T12GWR is in the current green livery. There is also a handful of coaches in gwr green as well.
