London Transport had its own Food Production Centre at Croydon, from where a fleet of trucks ferried produce to LT's many staff canteens. These trucks were usually maintained at Thornton Heath bus garage and, in the grey era at least, carried unpainted metal bodywork. This can clearly be seen on seemingly new Ford D500 5-ton insulated truck 1636F, as can the roller-shutter side door typically specified and some of the internal racking. New in May 1971, 1636F lasted until October 1979. |
