Details: One of the most rarely seen service vehicles is the Emergency Control Unit, currently formed of MAN demountable lorry 2587 combined with Lyntons body DB25. Both parts of this vehicle were new in 2006, though they have only worked together since 2014, when the previous chassis (2488M) was withdrawn. Normally parked at Acton Works, the combination was photographed at the Bedfont dealerships on 13th October 2020. The only visible changes since the last time it was shown on LTSV (at the end of 2017) are the addition of lock-nut caps on the front wheels and the securing of the fold-out awning box with cable-ties. The yellow notice on the door warns that 'all conversations (including telephone calls) are being monitored and recorded'. This rearward view also shows that 2587 is still fitted with a fold-under tail-lift, though this has presumably not been used for several years.
