Details: Another of the C-VOY registered Mercedes 307D trucks, 2431M is in the livery carried by several of the batch for their first few years. This featured large 'work force' lettering on the bodywork, with a smaller LRT Builders label, while the cabsides featured the Parsons Green Lane address. As this is the only photo I have of 2431M, I cannot say whether the livery was later changed. A couple of details of the vehicle are of interest (to me at least!). The locker below the bodywork seems to have been fitted on some (but not all) of this batch, and this one has had LRT Builders lettering applied. Just in front of this is what looks like an extendable support strut, of the type often found on demountable bodies. It is not very clear here, but also appears on several other photos I have of vehicles from this batch, both the dropsides and the curtainsiders. There is no sign of any support at the rear of the bodywork on this (or any other) photo, so I doubt that these were in fact demountable. Could it simply have been to support the vehicle while loading/unloading? Finally, and possibly connected to this, there is something orange in the body just behind the cab, which could well be a removable hoist. The location of this undated photograph is the small Junction Road premises in Upper Holloway. The houses in the background (with their distinctive buttresses) are on Monnery Road, which leads to the back entrance to Holloway Garage.
