Plod in Stealth People Carrier

[duart]

On successve days I have seen an unmarked Galaxy (?) on the A4 near Theale.It had a roof bar with blues cunningly hidden in it as well as blues behind the grille and sirens.Could this have been a training stint as the Sulhamsted training centre for Thames Valley Police is only two miles away? Due to heavy traffic through the roadworks I was not able to note the rtg number but the colour was silver.

Advanced driving courses are run from Sully so its a possible.

Also it sounds like an ARV that was being used.

I have been stopped and advised to slow down by such a vehicle, late night in North Wales on A55, in general use too I would assume

I've seen an unmarked silver people carrier at exactly the same place, but it was a Vauxhall.

I only found out it was unmarked when I got a flash of the blues to say "bit fast back there"! Although I did wonder afterwards whether it had been a senior fireman or someone similar just throwing their weight around. But presumably such a person wouldn't risk abusing their blues in such a way in case it got reported.

We use Vauxhall, Ford and Mercedes generally for ARV's which are the only ones painted silver rather than white i believe.

That'll be the roaming TVP ARV fireams cadre.
