Details: Some brilliant vintage shots by David Pearson have been made available, this first view showing the Neasden Depot breakdown shed on 4th November 1961. Parked inside were two breakdown tenders based on AEC Regent chassis. On the right is well-known (and now preserved) AEC Regent 832J, converted from bus STL162 in 1950. On the left is 111J, which also looks like a converted bus but which was actually bought new in 1935. Both vehicles carry the standard cream/red livery and both coincidentally served LT for 28 years. 111J was withdrawn in 1964 following the arrival of the Leyland Titan and Ford Thames Trader tenders, while 832J lasted until 1978 when it was replaced by Ford D-series vehicles. The illuminated headboard on 111J is standard but slightly curious in that it looks as though it was meant to contain a large LT roundel. However, the outline shape only has the bottom half of the circle.
