Once again the interesting stuff is not the train.
Love that BICC minibus in the photo of 70033 at Tring

It is a Ford Thames 400E Minibus.

BICC was British Insulated Callender's Cables who owned the construction company Balfour Beatty. During the 1990s the cable divisions were sold off and BICC renamed itself to the Balfour Beatty Group.
