| A picture taken in 1975 shows 1577F (AML754H), a Ford D550 5-ton Box Truck with Tail-Lift parked at Hainault Depot. The vehicle was allocated to Parsons Green and was apparently collecting a load of chairs. | |||

| Note added Sun 19/11/2017 by Clive G My original transparency for this photo bears a processing date of Aug 75 and was most likely taken no later than July as other shots followed. At the time I was a motorman at Hainault and remember the occasion well. The emergency garage was closed sometime following the Moorgate disaster of 28 Feb 1975 when the Hainault gang failed to attend due to staff not being available. Local gossip was that coverage for the gang was from the depot shop staff rota and that some individuals regularly took a chance to go AWOL. By the time I'd got my new camera I found the garage full of chairs just delivered by this lorry and no sign of any breakdown tenders. |
