| London Transport's railway breakdown tenders generally wore this distinctive red and cream livery. Seen here is 131A, one of three Albion KN127 breakdown vans new in 1938. Initially numbered AN27-AN29, they were renumbered to 130A-132A in 1939. One each was allocated to the rolling stock department at Ealing Common (AN27/130A), the Signal Engineer at Lillie Bridge (AN28/131A) and the Lifts & Escalators division (AN29/132A which differed in being green). All three lasted for about 20 years, with 131A being the last to go, in 1962. It was seen at about this time, parked up with some similar vintage vehicles. On the right is Leyland Cub Trolleybus Rescue Truck 204C which was based at Stonebridge Park for many years but which was stored at Cricklewood prior to disposal in 1962. |
