Details: Since delivery in autumn 1991, Mercedes-Benz demountable lorry 2488M has been paired with body DB7 to form the Emergency Control Unit. By February 2006, when it was photographed at Acton Works, it was therefore over 14 years old. However, it looks set to survive for some time, possibly being fitted with a new engine to comply with tightened emissions regulations. This part of Acton Works can be seen fleetingly from westbound trains on the District and Piccadilly lines. As can be seen, it is often home to former RCL2221, converted in 1979 to a mobile cinema and exhibition bus. Also just visible is former MCW Metrobus M1020, now a mobile exhibition unit for community policing. The Transit Connect in front of RCL2221 is 5541F, while two similar vehicles, and a Transit with an unusually large roof rack, are on the right. With permission of Tube Lines |
