Other documents are available that contain further content as listed below. Part 1 gives a basic list of all known service vehicles Part 2 gives full details of all vehicles, including such information as chassis and body numbers, suppliers and disposals and allocation histories (broken down into sections due to size) Part 3 contains the captioned photographs that have been published on the website (broken down into sections due to size) LTSV has accumulated a large amount of information over the years. By making these documents available for download it is hoped that the content can be preserved even if something happens to me or my website. This document includes content added up to (and including) 1st of March 2015. A new version will be produced perhaps once or twice a year, depending on how much has changed. For the latest information, please check the website www.ltsv.com. Locations lists The locations list has been provided in two different formats. The first is a tabulated list with the basic details, sorted by location code. Note that the 1- and 2-letter codes are official London Transport codes, mainly for bus garages. Other locations have been given unofficial 3-letter codes. The second list is sorted by location name and gives additional information in the form of notes added by contributors to the LTSV website. These notes have not been edited, other than to remove some irrelevant hyperlinks. News items All the news items posted on the LTSV website are reproduced here, firstly the fleet news items (in date order) and then the site news items. Again these have not been edited apart from the removal of certain hyperlinks. Forum postings The final section of this document is a collection of forum postings. These are presented in order of posting date and include any responses added.
