N416CMT (in the background) was indeed repainted red later in November. However, it was also transferred back to Dartford, seemingly replaced by similar (and already red) N415CMT going the other way. |

We now know that one of these two is RY54NDJ, just don't ask me which one it is! However, nobody has come forward with the identity of the other. |

As An ex dustman I can confirm that this is the rear of the compactor plate and the extra pipes would be additional hydraulic pipes for the lifting gear. |

On going back through some contemporary lists, it appears that 3335L was indeed B949COG rather than B949GOG, so it is almost certainly the vehicle shown here. I wonder where the reference to GOG came from then?! |

We have now had an official fleetlist, but it doesn't really help much. Although it confirms that LBSL Transit NK60FVE should be 7163F (thus freeing up the number 7193), both the LUL Transit and JNP Astra are shown as 7198! |

It appears the trailers may have only been given separate fleetnumbers in May 1955. References to the trailers in official LT documents before that time quoted only the LT body number (or the fleetnumber of the prime-mover). MC-prefixed numbers were first seen on documents dated 16/05/1955. |

A possible reason for GM03TOW going is it may not of been LEZ compliant? the chassis for SN08 is a tipper chassis which do tend to be mounted higher |

If it helps, I was in NP garage on 26/08/12 and it was in the garage for the few hours I was there, I believe it is their engineering van. Doesn't look like a Go-Ahead purchase as they normally go for mid-roof and wouldn't add yellow lettering to it. Also saw MF1 in there (electric dropside transit). The Galaxy cars on the left are owned by Addison Lee, to whom Go-Ahead pay a fortune for ferry duties, honouring an earlier contract entered into by First Group. |

The tram is 1858, once kept at Chessington Zoo (when Zoos were still called Zoos). On the right is the front of 1521 and the back end of 260. This was a cracking event, probably never to be repeated and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to go. Well done everyone at EATM and everyone else involved. |

The trolleybus to the right is a Q1 class # 1812 a BUT dating from 1948. All I can say for certain about the other trolleybus is that it is an AEC (you can tell by the wheel hubs). |

As the side logos are ETB it could possibly be E58 with the front panel(s) off of E22 and thus has the correct registration |

The bonnet/nearside front wing seems to be a slightly different shade of red on E22. An accident repair perhaps using panels from the other vehicle? |

This vehicle like any of the cars is available for use by the management team to attend site meetings etc. I believe once Stratford has a charging point set up it will move over there. |

This is what used to be the Training Square. By this time, the bus training school had hived off all its work to the pseudo-companies, and departed. CDS then took over the accomodation and vacated their site by the Bollo Lane gate. |

Well spotted Adam. The Ital was a (slight) restyling of the Marina. The plan had originally been to use the 'Marina Ital' name, and I adopted this so as to show the continuity of the design. |

The suffix letters were for when vehicle maintainance was done 'in house'. As much if not all maintainance is now dealer based they are no longer required. |

You are right! This same allocation was shown against A981-983HLT, which certainly were bullion vans. In fact, the three Mercedes seem to have replaced Transits YMM595H and VLF975/976S, in March 1984. I have amended the caption. |

If you think about it, UK police vehicles didn't have toughened glass until sometime after the 1981 riots IIRC (initially there had fixed grilles bolted over the windscreens, later the hinged pull-down ones used on public order vans today). Even 'black marias', prison vans, etc had normal-looking glass. So I suggest this van was used for some form of cash-in-transit. |
06/03/2012 |
Kim Rennie |
| 339 |
|
Hmm, I didn't think of that. However, a little digging found that VLF975-978S were new in Sept 1977 and allocated to the 'Chief Operating Manager (Railways)(Police)(Gp1)', seemingly to replace the YMM/H batch. |

I've been told thoughts are turning to the next generation of these vehicles, which would seem to imply a much shorter life than their Volvo or Mercedes predecessors. |

I do hope that top-box has some kind of shock absorbing lining fitted if it is designed to carry glass enclosed relays. I can just imagine the result of a few speed humps taken too enthusiastically! Incidentally, this is not a new idea being first suggested over 10 years ago, but not approved by Distribution Services at that time. |

Probably not based at the garage, but where? The Heathrow extension opened in 1975, the year this was delivered and it may have been used in connection with this, based at one of the Hounslow stations. The 'Urgent' box was possibly added when it was transferred to Whitechapel. |

This was indeed new to the Fire SDervice College at Morton on the Marsh, however it wasn't Bristol Fire Brigade afterwards.

I think this is a petrol driven truck rather than electric. There are no battery boxes between the axles, it has a radiator and a conventional battery (6 Volt?) fitted just inside the door opening.
