Details: To allow the retirement of the Ford D-series uniform issue lorries, a pair of trailers were built by Carrymaster for LUL in 1993. An impressive 15 feet tall, they were fitted out with uniform storage racks, and a serving counter at the rear, as described in the Capital Transport service vehicle book. Haulage of these trailers was often entrusted to Mercedes-Benz 1726 tractor unit 2474M, possibly because this was fitted with a roof-mounted airfoil. 2474M with CMT53 in tow was seen at Drummond Gate near Victoria on 25th August 1994. The trailers were out of use at Acton by 2003 (as seen here), their role having been taken over by a pair of small Mercedes-Benz trucks, while Ford Transits like 4398F and 5816F have also been seen with appropriate lettering.
