Somebody recently suggested that I add this vehicle to the database, and as a bus that has had significant modifications for an ancillary role I suppose it does qualify. New to London General in 1996 as LDP35, this Plaxton Pointer-bodied Dennis Dart was loaned to Armchair between May and October 2004. Early in 2005 it was repainted white and green with Southern lettering for use by the railway company (also part of the Go-Ahead group) as a mobile classroom. It was photographed in this condition at Brighton Station on the 1st of May 2005. By June 2006 it was back in London but not used until April 2007, by which time it had been repainted red and further modified as a mobile medical centre for use by London Central and London General. It appears to also see use as a crew rest room and/or mobile information office, being seen for example at Barking during a rail replacement operation in September 2009. |
