Details: Mercedes-Benz 1114 demountable lorries 2495M and 2496M were seen at Ealing Common Depot in about 1991. Each is fitted with a Locomotors box body featuring a crew compartment at the front. It is believed that these two lorries were based at Ealing Common, though official documents state that they were acquired to replace Neasden-based Fords 2200F and 2201F, yet were allocated to Acton and South Harrow respectively. Note that neither lorry carries its fleetnumber. This appears to have been the case for most of their lives, with just one photo of 2496M taken in 1997 showing it with a number. Both lorries were withdrawn following the delivery of new Volvo FL6 demountable lorries in late 1998, although the existing bodies remained in use.
