Details: Vehicles in the lorry yard at Acton Works are always parked towards the railway lines, so there is no ideal way to photograph them! However, rear views can be just as interesting. This picture taken on 22nd February 2006 shows two Mercedes-Benz lorries. 2556M on the left was a mini dustcart new in 1996, while 2487M on the right dates from 1990. The latter was new as a dropside in red livery, but now operates as a flatbed. At 16 years old, and with new emissions regulations due to be enforced in the future, lorries such as this are just about due for replacement. The red object to the left in this view is a large trailer used to transport a tube train mock-up, although being outsized it is not often used. To the right is Iveco EuroTech flatbed 2565F, recognisable by its sleeper cab. With permission of Tube Lines
