Do you remember what car it was that had the blue lights?

Are you 100 percent sure they were TFL cab stickers and were they both front and back? Is it possible the stickers were something different?
Yep Black or Dark Blue Mondeo, I walked right up to it as we were chatting how sneaky it was.

100% had stickers on the top passenger side window, both front and back, to me and the bloke I was with, they looked just like the TFL stickers I posted earlier.

Could be possible whey were something different, but I don't think it is.

Sorry didn't get the reg.

A work colleague once got a minicab in central London that had blues and twos fitted.
Driver explained that the company had contracts with various embassies and would occasionally be part of convoys with police outriders ferrying diplomats about.
Was definitely not a police car!

Saw an unmarked plain white police Artic cab on the M25 around J11 today at midday. Blue lights front and rear and looked like they were detaining some immigrants on the hard shoulder. The matrix signs were also warning of pedestrians in the road. All very bizarre. Any BiBs on here know any more?

Nissan Navara with blue lightbar heading towards a shout on the A329 towards Bracknell from the M4 on Tuesday I think.
I believe there was a nasty smash at the Coral Reef, so possibly connected?

Spoil sports you have blanked out the number plates!

Mind you I reckon I have seen all of them apart from the lorry at one point or another, luckily not in my rear view mirror wink

I'm sure I have heard of this being done before ( and I don't just mean earlier in this thread) have you guys done it, or perhaps it was another force?

Highways England lend their cab out to different forces quite a lot. Bloody good idea too.

Yep loads of forces do it, we've done it before and imagine it won't be the last time.
