Details: One of the things I have learned in recent years is the importance of being able to trace the sources of your information. This photograph shows how I have failed to do this in the past. I have always listed 2411B as being a Bedford CF280 van registered B411WUC. However, as this photograph taken at Chiswick Works on 26th November 1984 shows, it was quite clearly a dropside truck registered A411SJD. I'm not sure where I got the van information from, but then things get a bit confusing. The 1985 and 1986 editions of the London Bus Handbook list 2411B as being a Bedford CF350L truck registered A411SJD. However, the 1987 and 1988 editions list it as B411WUC. The DVLA shows B411WUC as being on a grey Bedford (now exported), and has nothing for A411SJD. So it would appear that B411WUC was the correct reg, but that 2411B carried A411SJD for at least the first five months.

rtwbus	To amplify, 2411B was delivered with the wrong reg., as photographed, but was corrected as it entered service.	Mon 20/02/2012, 17:55
