| Renewal of London Transport's bus recovery fleet started in April 1982 with the delivery of 2372L, the first of an eventual six Leyland Freighter units that were considerably larger than the Ford D-series lorries they replaced. The new trucks also stood out by wearing red livery instead of the standard grey. 2372L was seen at Chiswick Works when new, with a few Ford D-series lorries visible behind. Uniquely, 2372L was later used by London Underground (presumably to recover service vehicles rather than trains!) and it was given the new white/blue livery in about 1991. |
