| Details: A lucky catch on Bollo Lane on 11th October 1984 was this view of Leyland Freighter recovery truck 2372L towing Ford D0607 dropside lorry 1983F. 2372L spent its first 8 or 9 years based at Cricklewood Garage, as evidenced by the Cardinal District sticker on the front (Cricklewood was reassigned from Watling District in the reorganisation of January 1984). Ironically 2372L was later reallocated to Acton Works and repainted white/blue for a new role as a service vehicle recovery truck. The Ford lorry, allocated to Holloway Garage, still has the framework for its tilt cover. It is a pity that this vehicle was not selected along with RM1983 and T1983 (aka T747) for repainting in gold livery for LT's 50th anniversary in 1983. Bringing up the rear is trainer bus DM1909. | ||||
