| 394W was an AEC Regal stores lorry, converted from Green Line coach T304 in 1939. This photo taken in the old lorry yard at Chiswick Works (with the District and Piccadilly lines visible in the background) seems to show the lorry quite soon after conversion. It has the cream roof livery, which was dropped during WW2, and the paintwork looks gleaming. As usual with such vehicles, the only access to the loadspace is through a drop door in the end, while full side valances are fitted, many of which were later removed to simplify maintenance access. 394W had a long career, being converted from petrol to diesel in 1954 and eventually withdrawn and sold in 1963. |
