Theres a few cars that FGW have (or did) last time I saw one was in 2005 at Swansea, I *think* it was a Ford Galaxy or some MPV anyway.
It had the white/pink/blue full barbie livery, I dont know if they still have them, haven't noticed

Wessex used to have a nice fleet of Ford Hatchbacks, that have been taken over by FGW, also they have a selection of vans that carry station maitainence stuff
First have a van http://43030.fotopic.net/p28469522.html
SWT have a fleet of vans, all with the last 3 letters on the plate of SWT

SWT have a van that is always parked at Farnborough. Not sure why as it's not a main station, nor is it a traincrew depot. They also have some buses: http://www.coxster.co.uk/rail_photography/miscellaneous/railvehicles/13652.htm

I've had a ride in the Silver Wessextrains Ford car , it was debranded some time in the Summer, not seen it since.

There was a chap who had a couple of Reliant Robins which he painted up in railway colour schemes. I seem to remember one being in Railfreight triple-grey and another in Virgin red/grey - apparently Virgin weren't happy with it!

is the bus used as a feeder service like virgin do, or is it for rail replacement services.

The bus is used for RRBs.

The van isnt based at Farnborough, its from Woking, its just that the driver lives in Farnborough.........
The driver is a top guy and all round nice guy....
Somebody else said that all SWTs vehicles reg. no. end in SWT - sorry but that b*llocks!!
The cars and vans are all leased....

Might be the same guy,but I remember in a 1990 ish Railnews paper there was a fella with a BR large logo Reliant Robin.Have a feeling it was numbered in the 47 XXX,cheeky gimp!

Plus I keep seeing these white cars around which seem to have copied 47829's current livery!

I can remember seeing a VW Campervan painted in NSE colours, and IIRC a loadhaul one. it was one of those two, can't remember if it was loadhaul or NSE!
