CCT parcels vans... when did they finish?

[HonestTom]

I know of one GUV that was on a siding at Wimbledon Traincare Depot until less than a decade ago. One side was painted plain blue, the other in South West Trains livery.

Many, many apologies for not replying to this post sooner. I have seen that the Red Star branded CCTs are available. I am trying to remember when that branding was introduced?

 

Thanks again for the really helpful information.

According  to Butlin 101 CCT lasted into 1986, 28 into 1987 and 18 into 1988. All 18 of these were withdrawn in July 1988 in Redstar livery. On 1st Jan 1990 there were still about 140 CCTs in departmental, internal user service or waiting cutting on the network.

I'm sure that someone else can give a definitive answer, but I haven't seen any pre-1986 pictures of them.
