| London Transport's bus breakdown recovery policy was based on having a very small number of master breakdown recovery vehicles and cranes, and a slightly larger number of simple towing lorries. From 1976 until the mid-1980s, this second role was fulfilled by ten of these short-wheelbase Ford D1110 Open lorries, fitted with towing gear and a small crane for lifting parts and equipment. As with previous generations of vehicles, these lorries ran on trade plate registrations and, when photographed at Golders Green Bus Station, 1987F from Cricklewood garage was on 279LA. This picture was taken sometime between 1987F's introduction in November 1976 and the conversion of route 268 from SM to LS in February 1978. |
